How much does the battery weigh? A good one will weigh 64 pounds or so? More Lead makes more amps! Amps are what gives you umph and run time.
Car type will weight maybe 35 pounds. That's a big diff. Also when trying to compare amps it is tricky because not all makers use the same standard of testing.

OK Guys, I've posted elsewhere in the forum on my torque problem, and everyone has been pointing fingeres at the batteries (2004). so I went out yesterday and bought 5 new batteries for my D395 ("beast" that I replaced the "high speed motor with) powered club car ( I had already bought one new one last month. My problem is that the cart had/has
T875's and the one I bought last month is a T875 ( $130). I called another cart place, local (Cumming, GA) and was quoted $ 100 for what I thought were T875's. Got home ( I didn't even look at the shop) and they were/are T860's. My problem is, what if anything do I give up. sing the T860's vs the T875's. The dealer says maybe and hour or 2 of use, on the other hand I get 18 month warranty vs 12. Trojan says I loose @ 10% in range but I get an 12 month warranty (with the T860) vs 18 with the T875.

Who's right? If it ONLY means that I can go 10 miles vs 15 fine. If it takes ANYTHING away from my "goal" of torque, I wait and take them back.

Any, and all help is appreciated. Help, I want to drive my new toy! LOL Thanks!!! jeff

My half cent. I think volts are volts, therefor the only thing that would change is runtime. I don't think your motor is going to perform any differently all variables being the same. But wait for someone with more knowledge to jump in, this is just my opinion.

Won't effect anything but your run time. I would not mix batteries. Take them back and exchange them for T-875's. You will be much happier. Running with an odd battery might cause issues later on down the road.

Very good information, thanks. I am rebuilding a 94 DS CC, and I need all the help I can get.

Cab anyone provide the proper wiring to the motor, which terminals are (A1 I can read on the motor) A2, F1 and F2? Can't read the schematic posted by Sticky. Thanks
