That is decent, and will be helpful when your camping. When she’s all back together, you can take us for a rip. Thanks for hanging out William, it’s alway fun.
when i am installing things that i want to keep dry but have access and ability see it i just get a click clack container that's clear from the kitchen and drill then seal the boltholes/wires and its all good. if it may get hot i just poke a couple of holes under the lid so heat can escape. its a great way of taking care of switches etc out in the weather.
Something is telling me that panel and co troller will not charge those batteries. U less im doing something wrong, i have a 340 watt panel on top of my cart and a 40 amp mppt conteoller for it and it still isnt quite enough. I have three 12v lead acids in series.
Do you have some links for the charge controller and other things you might have gotten where I can buy one. I’ve taken my 6 V golf golf cart batteries out, and replace them with 312 V and Siri I’ve got a solar panel on the roof I need to charge controller
I saw your project with a solar panels On the 36th Volt golf cart. How that workout long-term? And I also noticed that you're running 3 batteries versus the six 6 V batteriesI'm running in mine. What's the difference? Shawn
I sold the golf cart so I’m not sure how it’s working out for the guy but it worked good for the full year. I had them on it and the 3. 12 V batteries work fine they just don’t last as long as 6. 6 V.
I have a question for you. I have a 95 36v club car DS recently put 3 12v deep cells in it. the first few times I charged it the charger shut off just fine when full. the last couple times the charger was a till on when I woke in the morning I don't think it was over charging because it was reading right at 42 volts. but should I be concerned that it never shut off? stock up car charger that came with the cart thanks!
Get a Hydrometer and check each cell of each battery, record your results for future testing/tracking etc. I just got a new Hydrometer called "Hydro Volt, made in Germany, easy to use and very accurate. Just remember to flush it out with distilled water when your finished using it.
Nice work Billsiff!!! I'm looking to do this on our golf cart and I think I was able to understand it a lot better by watching you put yours together!! Thanks for sharing Captain!!! Just two questions though, will this be able to maintain a full charge on the batteries throughout the day as you use it? Also when using the charger that the golf cart came with, are you able to charge the batteries overnight while the solar system is connected?
What kind of battery set up do you have. It looks like you have 3 12v batteries and if you do what kind of batteries do you use and was the hook up same as 6 6v batteries.
I’m just using three cheap deep cycle 12 V batteries the last long Enough to where I go they are only 50 amp hours each I definitely need better batteries but with a solar on the roof in the daytime it keeps them charged
@@LifeWithBillSiff what about charging? I have mine hooked up and it seems the 36v charger that came with the cart doesn't shut off at 36v I was reading about 42 then it read O.L. before I disconnected. do I have something wired wrong?
@@brianpeterson8769 42 volts should be ok when you charge the batteries with a factory charger it’s normally around 40 volts . There should be settings on the charge controller to set voltage levels

Thats a great addition to have on an electric cart for sure.
Very Nice cart indeed.
👍😁

Great video! Thank you for making it

Great job, have you or can you post the supplier for the panels & controller! Thank in advance

I just did mine!!
Just ordered the same setup. Probably should have asked before buying; but how is this working out?

That’s scary not to sure why it would do that . Maybe a week cell in one of the batteries or chager issues

Do you have links to Charge controller and solar panels?
Ok so is there an MPPT version for a 36v battery bank?
I could not find one at that time .
is the controller still working? this seems like the only 36v charge controller I can find. thanks!
Hi Billsiff can you tell me what kind of solar panels and controller I would need for a 48 volt 1997 Club Car
Why didn't you just hook up a spare plug designed for the cart and plug it into the charge controller?
What batteries are you using? Lead acid? or Lithium?
I was using just lead acid
update ???
Sold it last year . Guy I sold it to texted me last month and told me how great everything’s working
You sure do know you electronics that’s forsure billsiff !!
What’s the silver colored heat sink device atop your battery?
Thats a 36v to 12v adaptor for running headlights and anything 12v they are about $20!
I currently am running 3 12v deep cycles in my cart. could I run 6 of them to get a little more range?
Yep !!

Parts list including batteries after watching I think I can do it too lol.

And yes you hook them up the same positive to negative positive to negative negative on the third positive on the first battery

@@LifeWithBillSiff awesome thank you for the response. could you link your solar panels and charger you used on your cart?
