Err...I'm planing on building an electric gocart sometime in the near future, but I honestly don't know what I'm doing when it comes to electronics, so I hope I came to the right place.
I found this while looking for supplies on the internet and I have an important question:
What would be the most efficient set up for a battery-motor system:
12VDC batt - 12VDC to 120VAC inverter (800W) - 120VAC 800W motor
-or-
12VDC batt - 12VDC 800W motor
Or should I use more than 12V? What would be the best way to get the most out of a battery? The way I see it, the AC motor is only pulling 6.7 amps while the DC one is pulling 66.7 amps. Am I correct in saying this?
Anothing question, how do I know how much weight my gocart motor can handle? Is it the current, voltage, or power?
Please don't hassle me if I don't know what I'm talking about. I just need some good advice. Thx
