Will my carts electrical system handle this?
 
Hello all, new to the forum. My fatherinlaw bought my daughters a carbide 150 a couple of years back. We live out in the country and I must say that it is a blast to ride. I do have a couple of questions, 1, could I remove the stock lights and install something bigger/brighter without hurting any thing? And 2, can the charging system handle a small atv type winch? Right now it is completely stock. It works well for what we use it for and these two modifications would make it pretty much perfect. Thanks for your help!

It "should" be able to handle new lights and the winch no problem. Switching to LED lights would draw WAY less power.

Second on the LED lights. I have my lights and winch wired directly to the battery that way I can operate them without the buggy running. I also use a lawn mower battery which is quite a bit larger than the stock battery.

Yep, I was thinking about a lawn mower or atv battery for a little more electrical capacity but wanted to get some experienced opinions. Thanks guys!
