36volt club car running at 40volts
I was checking Craigslist today and a saw a Club Car cart that had 5 8volt batteries in a 36volt cart.
Never mind what charger you would use. Would it work with out frying the electronics? Its only 4 volts more I guess run times would be shorter. Things that make me go hmmmmm..... |

I am guessing that would not work for very long if at all...

Re: 36volt club car running at 40volts
One thing your over looking is, 5 x 8 volts do not add to 40 volts, a fully charged 8 v battery is 8.49v, if you add that up , 42.45, and as said i don't think it will last long before something burns up,

If he is charging it with a 36v charger he will only have a 36v pack.

A36V charger will shut off early if you try to charge a 40V pack with it. It will probably get it mostly charged but it won't equalize the pack properlly.
