Does anyone know if the sell 72 volt chargers thinking of putting 6 12v batteries in the redneck buggy. Just got through installing 500 amp controller and 9 hp motor (wow what a difference). Or should I just upgrade to a 48v?
Mines a 36v right now I was told 48v would make a big difference also. Thanks

72v chargers are available or you can use 2 x 36v chargers.
48v will give you about 30% more speed and torque than you currently have.
72v may overspeed your motor and blow up.
What do you have now and what are you trying to get done?

Have a 500 dcx controller and 8.9 hp d&d motor. I don't even know if theses could handle 72v. I know it can handle 48v and that's more than likely what I'll go with. Going to put in six 8v batts because that will fit better than 8 batteries.
