6 volt to 12 volt battery change over
Hey Scotty if you are online...or anyone...
Have a 84 club car (has 5 solenoids)...I need batteries bad but its going to be a month or so before I can get them...However I have 3 12volt deepcycle/marine batteries that are in good shape... I know you are going to say I want get the preformance or they want last as long but its just temporary.... I am going to assume I hook them up the same way as the 6 volt...positive to negative. ..Is there anything else I need to change or do?.... Can I still use my charger to charge the 12 volt batteries???? Thanks Dont fuss Scotty...its temporary.... Bill |

Re: 6 volt to 12 volt battery change over
Im not ScootyB BUT you can try using the marine batterys? I wouldn't bother with it but if you really cant afford batterys now?? It will mean possibly making up some special battery cables that will be of no usage afterwards ( MONEY LOST )?
I assume that your cart is set up as a 36 volt unit, and if you connect the 12 volt batterys correctly you would have a correct 36 volts to all factory parts. Your charger should work as long as it see's 36 volts total? |

Re: 6 volt to 12 volt battery change over
Thanks Old Mec and yes its the 36 volt system....The only add-on I have are front lights which are 12 volt anyway....I will hook that to one battery rather than to the two 6 volts...and will hook the charger wire just like it is with the 6 volts....dont remember which terminal + or - its on but will look....
Other than that everything should be ok...right.... Thanks Bill |

Re: 6 volt to 12 volt battery change over
THe charger was made for 18 cells and now you have 9 so it may tend to cook the 12v..... check their temp (if you can) before and during charging. A rise of more than 10 degrees could indicate damage.

Re: 6 volt to 12 volt battery change over
SCOTTYB is correct, I had forgotten about the higher temps involved with 36 volt charger over a 12 volt charger? OLD AGE I GUESS!
When I answered you there was something in the back of this old brain that said "I'M FORGETTING SOMETHING" good catch ScottyB THANK YOU. |
