The Golf Cart Kit. 48V Battery Bank
This system is designed specifically for golf carts with 48V battery banks. Typically, 48V battery banks require 2 or 3 (higher voltage) solar panels connected in series, through an MPPT charge controller to charge a 48V battery bank. Golf Carts have limited roof space, and we can only fit 1 large solar panel up there. The Rover Booster is designed to “boost” the voltage of 1 solar panel up to the required voltage so you can properly charge your golf cart. 12 through 36V up to 56->57V for the 48V battery bank.
This was designed for:
48V golf carts
Single solar panel systems that need to charge a 48V battery bank.
Flooded batteries
AGM batteries
Lithium batteries
Usage:
This system can and will charge your golf cart up to 100%. However, this system is meant to add extended range and peace of mind. For carts that are heavily used (think golf clubs or carting communities) charging the cart is a scheduled event to ensure the next day won’t be impacted. This kit provides the cart with an added 450W per hour (in full sun) of charge which will allow the user to do the following things:
Charge phones, speakers or even small DC coolers while at the beach without fear of depilating the batteries
Extending the range of your daily cart activities
Extending the life of your batteries over the long term. (Depilating your batteries down past 50% shortens the life of your batteries. If you can get another year or 2 of battery life this system has more than paid for itself)
Peace of mind if you leave for the week and forget to plug in your cart. It will be fully charged upon your return.
Mounting:
The 500W panel provided can replace the standard golf cart roof completely. A one size fits all mount is not feasible at this stage. Grabbing some hardware and bolting the panel to the existing uprights on the cart seems to be the best solution. Or, you can “float” the panel over the existing roof. Use caution as the corners of the panels would be painful if you hit your head on them. Get some foam pads or “soft corners” that can stick using 3M tape on the corners. You will be glad you did.
Includes:
1 * 500W solar panel
2 * 10ft RPVU 90 #10 wire, red and black with MC4 Crimped ends.
2 ends with o ring terminals from charger to batteries.
Renogy 10A Rover Boost Charge Controller. 12 through 36V -> 48V battery banks
Renogy BT-2 Bluetooth module
