Can this be used in a golf cart or do I need a voltage reducer?

It is designed to run on 12 volt not 24. But since it is direct current, in theory you could but I would keep it on the lowest setting and check the heat after 2 minutes. If it is hot, stop before you damage someting

As long as your accessory plug is 12 volt, you're good. I can't imagine that they would have an access plug in any vehicle that wasn't 12 volt. The voltage of the vehicle shouldn't matter as the access. plug will have been regulated to 12v.Please remember you would have to mount this as it is made to be a stable tabletop model. I can't see this as really being good for a golf cart; however, I don't know how you mean to use it. Hope that helps.

I don't see why not. It's designed to run off of 12VDC, so assuming the electrical system on your golf cart is 12V, I would assume you could make it work.

It could easily be used from a golf cart. All you need is a place for it to set securely and an electrical source.

The Goal Zero Yeti 1250 provides up to 1250 watts of 120 vac. You will need to have a 36 volt charger that uses 120 vac. The deciding factor would be the wattage used by the charger. I tested my Yeti with a well pump and power tools that consumed 800 plus watts and could run continuously for an hour. If your golf cart charger consumes less than that, the useful time to run the Yeti will go up. You can go to the Goal Zero web site and get more information.

I looked mine over, I don't see anything voltage range marking. Many have posted the current limit. Amperage is quite different from voltage. I agree that your golf cart shouldn't pull any where near the 100A continuous limit. A 36V nominal system is not likely to exceed 43.5V even during charging cycles so I'd say the internal contactors should be able to handle that. That said I haven't torn one apart so there's always the possibility they made some wonky design decision. The external taps certainly have enough seperation. Bottom line, even if it doesn't work, as long sa this is wired in series with the motor, there's no real safety hazard. I looked mine over, I don't see anything voltage range marking.

I also have 6--8 volt batteries but the light kit I have (same as yours) works on 12 VDC. This is the reducer (48 VDC to 12 VDC) I bought for my Club Car. http://www.amazon.com/GOLF-CART-voltage-reducer-converter/dp/B008CM4WZ2/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pd_nS_nC?ie=UTF8&colid=2BG1374SH88DY&coliid=IUHMYT3150ROT Works great at a reasonable price. I think you will have to copy and paste to reach the site.

I have a 2007 Precedent and did not need a voltage reducer. Everything you need is in the Ultimate Kit. Your cart should already have the necessary wiring harness. The only difficulty is the written directions in the kit are a little difficult to follow, but Madjax has video instructions on Youtube. Just follow the video.I also had a defective flasher module in my kit, but you can get a standard 12 volt replacement at the auto parts store for about $4 bucks. Good luck, I really like the lights and horn.

I see no reason for it no to. I am using one to charge a 36v golf cart. I suggest not running your battery pack below 70% ; and leave it pluged up anytime you are not using it. Hope this helps.

I do not know the DC voltage of a golf cart, but it will test the 8-volt battery. Is the battery fully charged? The tester comes with an owner's manual which offers a detailed description of the tester's capabilities and test instructions.

Hi Robert! This item will not work for your 12 volt application. It connects to 6, 6 volt batteries in a 36 volt golf cart. Does this by hooking up to positive lead on battery one, and negative lead on battery six, so its reading a true 36 volts to give its reading. Hooking it up to your single 12 volt battery, the dial would read as only being1/3 charged if your battery was fully charged. I hope this helps!

Sharon,no a 36v won't work for a 48 v. If you have a 48v golf cart, you need the 48v to 12v reducer, min voltage is 40v. Go with the 48 to 12 volt reducer, you won't be disappointed, I bought this one and works great, just be sure to put an off/on switch between your reducer and whatever you are trying to power up, due to the fact that this does stays on all the time and runs down your batteries, not much in a weeks time but it does. It is very minimal and it is great, I love it and simple to install, Hope this helps and if you need more info, let me know good luck and enjoy.........Day in Texas Sharon,no a 36v won't work for a 48 v.

I have never heard of a 8v golf cart battery, it sounds like a 12 volt battery that is in need of a charge. I would charge the battery and get the cca or ca and go for the test.

They claim it requires 215 watts. Mine is on 6-100 watt Renolgy panels and 6 Trojan deep cycle 12 volt golf cart batteries. It has worked flawlessly night and day with power left over to run multiple 12 volt lights in my house. Tim

We just bought this last month. We have a gas golf cart with a 12 volt battery so we didn't get a voltage reducer and it seems fine.

Hi! Indeed it can, but will not maintain them perfectly equally among all batteries. I have mine connected to 4 155AH batteries in series (48V) that are all identical, and it does an adequate job on a very technical, high-spec installation. It will do a golf cart battery sufficiently that you will not notice a difference between batteries.

This will not work. This unit takes the 36/48 volts that a golf cart battery bank uses and reduces the output to 12 volts. It will not run a 110 volt rope light.

Yes, at 12 volts and about 0.5 amps. This system was designed to trickle charge batteries and keep them topped off. I use them on my golf carts and boats and parked vehicles to keep the batteries topped off.
