Default How many years you get out of 4 12 volt batteries

How many years should I expect to get out of my 4-12 volt batteries? Batteries are 2010.

I agree. Typically 4-5 years is the lifespan of a 12v pack.

2010 wow. You could potentially be on your 3rd set by now. They don't last long as six 8v batteries. 8 volt batteries have much larger cells and are far superior when it comes to run time and length of life. It's like comparing AA batteries to C batteries. Same voltage, but much more power in reserve.

Not really. A six volt battery is the same size as an 8v based on dimensions. They have larger cells, but a 36 volt cart is not as efficient as a 48 volt cart, so it's really an inaccurate comparison trying to compare run times on two different systems. If you were to use eight 6v batteries on a 48 volt cart, you better believe it'll last longer. Much longer.

six years is way beyond the average life even for 6x8V but especiallly for 4x12V.

So if I went to 6 8 volts batteries would be better for run time and life of the batteries?
