Trying to convert ParCar to Lithium. Have purchased a 48 volt Eco Battery. Everything installed; Battery, Onboard Charger, voltage reducer and new battery meter. Just one problem (that I know of anyway); the hand brake has an interlock which I need to rewire. When I disconnected the old onboard charger (a Delta Q) I disconnected the interlock which came off the charger and which was tied into the interlock wiring coming from the hand brake. Now I have a black wire from the hand brake with a spade bit but not connected to anything. Previously the interlock system for the charger and hand brake received voltage from the batteries via the charger. If the charger was charging no voltage was allowed to flow through. Same is true for the hand brake (if hand brake on then no voltage going through) Cart had 8 six volt batteries before the change. I have contacted 4 golf cart shops and none have been able to help. Since this is not my area of expertise I hate to assume anything. My thought is that the previous system would have received around 52 volts through the interlock system being fed from the charge system wiring connected to the batteries. Now I do have the option to feed through the voltage reducer which would only provide about 12 volts. So once I answer the question of the voltage being sent previously through the interlock system I could determine which way to go. Thanks for any help.
