Re: DS or Not
Hay thanks for the help on the DS.
How about a new question, Not so new for you guys im sure, I need to replace all the batteries, They have dead cells and wont stay charged. I have 6- 8 volt batteries in it now. would it be better to run 8-6volt batters? If so why. |

Re: DS or Not
I have all new 4 g. wire ready to go on with the new batteries and I just read where someone had to drill out the ( what he thinks is just a cover for the OBS or OBC) to install them and now his cart wont charge.? is there something special about putting on new cables.

Re: DS or Not
run the new wire around OBC while keeping the old one in place hooking it up in parallel with the new.

Re: DS or Not
You'll benefit from 8 6 Volt batteries because you're adding more capacity to your system. The dimensions of the 6 and 8 volt batteries is the same... resulting in the exact same amount of capacity... However, by replacing those 6 8's with 6 6's and adding an additional w 6's... you're increasing your capacity by two batteries, but still maintaining 48V. A good discharge time on a Club Car discharge machine for a new set of 6 8's is 110-120 minutes. On the same 48V discharge machine, 8 6's will run somewhere around 160-180 minutes. You'd need to get another On-Board computer to properly charge them though. The standard computer isn't setup for that... Neither is the charger... Club Car offers what they call an "IQ PLUS" charger designed specifically for the 8 6-volt setup. Hope this helps.
