Product Description
Don't want to cut the wiring on your D5 to add accessories? Our Evolution D5 BA PowerPlate® provides a simple plug and play harness and bolt-on installation that makes it easy to add 12 volt accessories to your vehicle and do so properly with a marine grade fuse panel and a large surface area to mount your led controller, amplifier, and whatever else you might have up your sleeve.<p "="">The Evolution D5 has a 48volt to 12volt reducer which powers the factory 12v components on the cart (touchscreen, lighting, soundbar), but the only way to tie into that converter is if you cut the wiring, and crimp or solder your own wiring to the converter. Well, most golf cart owners don't really don't want to cut any wires on their your cart, so we developed the D5 BA PowerPlate® which requires no cutting, and simply plugs right into the converter, providing you with a simple, quick, and safe solution to a 12 volt, marine fuse block! Key Features: Plug N Play Design. Don't risk shorting your converter/accessories out by trying to cut and crimp onto your D5s factory wiring. The D5 BA PowerPlate® features a plug n play weather protected harness that is prewired to a marine grade fuse panel and plugs right in to the 12volt converter on your D5. So not only is it easy to install, it's also safe! Simple & Sexy. You might not think wiring can be considered "sexy" but we at BA Carts are wiring nerds, so when we see a beautiful panel like the D5 PowerPlate that is good looking, easy to install, and hides all of the accessory wiring t'boot, we get a little excited and you should to because quality wiring is safe wiring!
Quick Installation. Bolt it down, plug it in, wire your accessories to the fuse panel. Done. Can it get any easier? No Drilling, Wire Cutting, Or Screwing. The plate bolts to pre existing holes on the equipment panel under the rear seat, and the fuse panel plugs into the 12volt converter, so there's no need to drill mounting holes, or cut wires to install it, or screws to screw the plate down.
Accessory Panel: Not only do you have 12 volt terminals to wire in your amp, led controller, and other accessories, our plate provides you with a surface area to mount those items to as well! We Upgrade The Wiring! The factory 12 volt wiring harness that powers your touchscreen, usb charger, and lighting, does not have a fuse. So if any of those items short out, you run a risk of frying your converter. However, with our Powerplate, we fuse the wiring to the dash, so now if any of those items short out, you'll blow the fuse, instead of your converter.
Ready For The Weather. American Powder Coated Plate (Ultra Rust Preventative), Heat Shrank Wires, Marine Grade Connectors, Marine Grade Fuse Panel, the D5 BA PowerPlate® isn't made to just look pretty, it's made to to handle all weather conditions, and provide a safe wiring solution to your accessories. 10 Gauge Wiring Harness. Now that it is easy to add accessories like an LED Light Bar, an amplifier, etc, you're going to draw quite a bit of amperage from your 12volt converter on your D5, and when you're drawing higher amperage, a heavier gauge wire is required. The D5 PowerPlate's wiring harness has 10 gauge wire for ground and for power, which is rated for a 20 amp draw (the max amperage provided by the converter on your D5). Easy Access. Mounted right below your rear seat with the fuse panel facing up, our PowerPlate could not be installed in a better place to make it easier for you to check your fuses!
Craftsmanship. We are perfectionist with over 100 years of audio experience and we love wiring just as much as we love golf carts, so you can expect the highest level of craftsmanship when it comes to our wiring, product design, and overall fit and finish.
Customer Service. We created and manufacture the D5 BA PowerPlate® in house, so guess who you get to talk to when you have a question or concern? You guessed it. Us. Our service to customers is just as important to us as our craftsmanship is in our products, so when you need a question answered, reach out to us via text, phone, or email and we will make sure you are taken of.
ADD ON OPTION: The Marine Wiring Kit
- If the Marine Wiring Kit is purchased with the PowerPlate, the box will be attached to the underside of the PowerPlate with (2) Wire Glands and (4) Snap Grommets, inside of the work box. The glands/grommets will not be installed because they should only be installed if wires will be traveling through them (AKA, installed by you when performing DIY wiring)
- When we build our Plug N Play LED/Audio products for the D5, we install a marine box with marine wire glands and snap grommets on the PowerPlate, allowing us to put all wiring connections inside of the box, keeping them away from weather and away from components on the D5. (all soldered wiring connections would just be out in the open air if we didn't install the marine box)
- The marine wiring kit is not required for you to wire in your own accessories to the PowerPlate but it does allow you to keep vulnerable wiring connections away from weather and the carts components.
Is The D5 PowerPlate® Made For You? The D5 PowerPlate is made for an Evolution D5 owner who doesn't want to cut the wiring on their D5 to tap into the 12v power or for the D5 owner who would prefer a 5 minute solution for wiring a fuse panel onto their cart instead of spending a considerable more amount of time DIYing it themselves. The D5 PowerPlate is also made for the D5 owner who would rather install their own LED Lights and/or their own sound system instead of buying our plug n play audio & LED products (which all include this PowerPlate)
Ordering Guidance:
- Read the info on our Marine Wiring Kit (just above)
- Read our Ordering Advice PDF (HERE)
- Order this PowerPlate if you want a proper and simple solution to adding your own 12 volt accessories (lights, led lights, audio, etc). Do not order this PowerPlate if you want our audio and/or LED system because those packages include a PowerPlate with all of the wiring already performed by us.
- This PowerPlate does not "plug n play" with our audio and/or LED products. If you order just this PowerPlate as is, and then later decide you want one of our LED/Audio packages, that new package will include a PowerPlate with the sound system's amp and/or LED Controller pre installed and wired to the fuse panel (meaning this PowerPlate is no longer used).
Fits:
- Evolution D5 Ranger & Maverick (4 and 6 passenger) (Any year to current)
This PowerPlate is specifically built for the D5 model. If you have a D2 model (Plus, Pro, Carrier, Forester), then go to our D2 accessory section here on our online store and you'll find the D2 PowerPlate as well as many other accessories!
