4-12v Batteries
How many miles could you realisticly go on flat ground with 4-12v compared to 6-8v batteries ?

Re: 4-12v Batteries
All depends on the Amp Hour Ratings. Compare them! In General, 8V batteries have a higher Amp Hour rating than 12V batteries. How far you can go is subject to many variables but higher AH means more stored energy given the same total battery voltage.

Re: 4-12v Batteries
I have carts with both. I routinely get 20-25 miles out of the 4-12's and 25-30 mile's out of the 6-8's.

Re: 4-12v Batteries
Again I say that you need to compare AH ratings! If they were the same, you would get about the same range with either. In general, the AH ratings of the 8V will be higher than the 12V.

Re: 4-12v Batteries
My Trojans are the 1275's much more than when they originally started using 12v batteries, if this helps.
@25 Amps 280 @56 Amps 102 @75 Amps 70 5-Hr Rate 120 10-Hr Rate 134 20-Hr Rate 150 100-Hr Rate 166 |

Re: 4-12v Batteries
To Get maximum range go with six volt batts they have the highest amp hr rating period
Example 8 - 6 volt 260 amp/hr batts |
