Help ID this Club Car (I think)

FormulaMatt · 04-27-2016, 07:51 PM

Hello All! Brand new to the forum here and hailing from New Bern NC. I just picked up a golf cart on craigslist and need some info on it.

Can you tell me the approx year, make, model?
Is this a aftermarket body?
Does anyone have a diagram or pic on how to wire it up? Had 3 12v batteries.
Will normal 12v deep cycle batteries work?

I'm sure alot of these are noob questions and yes, I will use the search button as soon I have an idea of what this is. Thanks so much for any help, and HAPPY CARTING!!!

Not for long... Marine Deep Cycle Batteries are NOT meant for use in Golf Carts...

That looks to be an 80s Club Car DS. The front body is definitely aftermarket, the rear appears stock. This should be the correct wiring diagram for that cart: http://www.buggiesgonewild.com/attac...e528185if2.jpg

Thanks so much! However, on the diagram, how would I hook up my 3 battery system?

Thanks again!

Also, did any come with the rear body with that storage locker behind the seat?

I think I found the ID plate...this means it is a 85 Club Car DS right? If so, what years of bodies will fit on this?

Thanks!

that is a 85 club car DS 36v ,
they came with six 6v batteries
you will not find a 3 battery diagram
but here is a way to hook it up

1981 to 2000.5 Year Model body will fit .

Oh ok, thanks! The previous owner said it was always a 3 battery system....must not have been the original owner then. I have to buy batteries; should I got back to 6 6v? Whats the advantage disadvantage to both?

Thanks again!!

6v is what is needed
6v will give you the best run time
can you post a photo of the battery area ?
