Typical Installation of Golf Cart Electrical Accessories

Most electrical accessories in the golf car industry are powered via a 12VDC source. There are some exceptions with headlights as we offer some 36VDC and 48VDC versions. Providing a suitable 12VDC source for your golf cart electrical accessories will depend on several things.

Gas Golf Cart Electrical Accessories Installation

First, let’s address providing a suitable 12VDC source for golf cart electrical accessories in a gasoline powered golf cart. All gas golf cars draw power from a 12 volt battery for the ignition system to start the car. With this type of system, you wire directly to the battery for the 12VDC source.

36 Volt Golf Cart Electrical Accessories Installation

Installing electrical accessories into a 36 volt golf car provides a bit more of a challenge. Mostly, since the battery bank does not provide 12V already as in the gas installation above. Luckily, 36V systems generally use six 6 volt batteries and six is a divisor of twelve.
