Bolt Energy 72V Heavy-Duty Solenoid (400+ Amp)
Engineered for High-Amperage 72V Performance Builds
When upgrading to a true 72-volt system—especially with a high-output controller—the solenoid becomes one of the most critical components in your electrical path. The Bolt Energy 72V Heavy-Duty Solenoid is built to withstand the heat, surge amperage, and rapid cycling that come with today’s performance setups. Standard solenoids simply can’t keep up.
This heavy-duty unit provides clean engagement, consistent voltage delivery, and long-term reliability for carts that see real usage: hills, passengers, larger tires, property routes, and high-demand acceleration profiles.
When You Need This Solenoid
If your controller is over 350 amps, this solenoid is strongly recommended—and often required.
Ideal for carts running:
- Navitas 440A & 600A controllers
- Navitas AC Conversion Kits
- Teekon 840A
- Alltrax 400A, 500A, 600A, 650A
- Any upgraded 72V performance or AC drive build
- Carts experiencing solenoid chatter, excessive heat, or intermittent dropout
A proper solenoid protects your controller and ensures smooth engagement at higher voltage.
Do You Need a Resistor and/or Diode?
Here’s the clear rule:
If you are installing a Navitas controller or a Navitas AC conversion → you do NOT need a resistor or diode.
These modern controllers are designed to operate without them.
If your existing OEM solenoid uses a resistor, you will need a heavy-duty replacement resistor.
Most 72V systems do not use diodes due to the high-voltage architecture.

Why Upgrade to a Heavy-Duty Solenoid?
A premium solenoid provides:
- Reliable engagement under high amperage
- Reduced arcing and improved contact life
- Cooler operation under repeated cycling
- Protection for high-end controllers
- Stable performance with heavy passenger load, steep terrain, or larger tires
If your cart is upgraded for speed, torque, or endurance, this solenoid is a must-have.
