You can use the same charger but I think it might not be a good idea.Clubcar has went back to 6 batteries because the 4-12s dont hold enough juice.The frames will also have to be changed as these 12v batteries are much heavier.

well that settles that thanks so much for the reply battery time

I also considered the same modification yesteday when I was buying 6 new batteries, but the Trojan dealer I went to said the (4) 12-volt batteries cost about the same as the (6) 8-volt batteries.

Plus I would need to modify the battery rack (which I had to repair anyway!)

ya i guess i better stick to the 8 volts but thanks for the reply
i was just looking for a way to run under body light from a 12 volt source
instead of buying a 48 to 12 volt converter there must be a way just have to figure it out thanks

Get a 12 volt handicap battery ( UB12350 Last Price Check $52.00? ) and solve all you problems now and in the future. Its a "small sealed battery" that can be mounted in any position and is a deep cycle batterys. I charge through a power outlet on my dash with a cheap 12 volt charger.

Hi, I was thinking about doing just the opposite. I want to change out my four 12 volts for six 8 volts. Does anyone know if there is conversion kit or different battery pack for this?

most lights & stereos will work fine off of 2- 8v batts., 1 run mine that way with no problems. kirk

I have heard that Buggies Unlimited will be comming out with a kit sometime late summer/early fall of this year.

I am gonna go that route (6 - 8 volt batteries) when it is time to replace the batteries in the Precedent.

Have fun! Dave
