Upgrade your electric golf cart to 72 volts!

Upgrade your electric golf cart to 72 volts!

Summary
This is for 72 volts. These are list's of electrical components that will get you started on your way.
The first list is if you want everything electric.
{ Pictures are for viewing only they may are may not be on a 72 volt cart}


PARTS NEEDED
1. Controller that can handle 72 volts
2. Contactor's for 72 volts, both main and F/R and Bypass if used
3. Cables to handle the amps
4. Motor to handle the voltage & amps


HOW TO..
Alltrax 72 volt controller: 7245 24-72V
A big factor here is how long it will pull the amps. The 450amp is only good for 30 seconds and there is no rating from 30 seconds to 5 minutes so I can't say.
5minutes is 350amps
60 minutes is 200amps

Note these are 400amp F/R contactor: Should be good enough for most carts

I can't stress how much your cables and all the wiring must be in top shape for a high voltage cart. Everything needs to be check often and kept in very good shape. Cables should be crimped and heat shrinked at the least.
