How do you wire a 12 volt spotlight to a 36 volt system golf cart?

botuck0045 asked:
The light will plug into any cigarette lighter. I’m planning on splitting the wires and putting clamps on each wire to clamp them onto the battery terminals. I have a golf cart I want to connect this to. The cart has 6 batteries, 6 volts each (total 36 volt system). All the batteries, of course, are wired together. How would I connect the clamps? To a single battery? To different batteries? Or can I even do it without blowing the bulb? Obviously I know nothing about electricity, but I’ve wired a light like this in the past to a 12 volt battery and it works fine. But how to wire one (if it can be done) into my golf cart with this 36 volt system with 6 batteries (6 volts each) has me puzzled. I don’t want to ruin my light. Thanks for any help.

For twelve volts made up of the six for twelve volts sounds like the six for twelve volts made up of the first set ill bet im correct tag onto that set and it will tell you van get test lamps are wired in line its 12 24 and check the batteries are wired in series pairs so if your.

Get a 36 to 12 volt reducer. If you run a light, or anything else, from only two of the 6V batteries you will discharge the batteries unevenly and may cause early battery failure. See the link below.
