Re: Battery conversions
If you have room you can convert to 8 X 6V batteries. Most use 6X8V batteries. Either will work but the 8X6 will add weight and cost to your cart. (And give you more range)

Re: Battery conversions
i have a 2008 CC precedent. i will def not keep the 12volt setup but i'd rather go with 6v instead of 8v batts mainly because i can get interstate ones much cheeper then 8v. i was curious if anyone has gone with 8- 6volt batts.

Re: Battery conversions
BUT...DON'T FORGET, YOU GUYS...the bagwell is not available like the trunk of a car, if he actually golfs with his cart! Sheesh! Anyone would think these weren't actually called GOLF CARTS!

Re: Battery conversions
Lol. No I don't use it for golf but good call joesam. I only use it at my campground and a little around the house.

Re: Battery conversions
Then the bagwell is like the trunk of a car - as long as your not using it to haul anything else, its a good place for extra batteries. If it were me, I'd make a nice/tidy looking molded type cover for any batteries being stored back there - but that's up to you.
When you look under the seat, does your cart have a console/divider in the middle of your batteries, or are you one of the lucky ones without? |

Re: Battery conversions
I have no divider and the tow switch is on the back wall. It would be nice if I could fit all 8 under the seat. I was hoping someone had already done this but it seems like everyone uses the 8volt setup.

Re: Battery conversions
I don't think the "bucket" design of the Precedent is condusive to 8 batteries - heck, until late 2008, you couldn't really fit six without a bit of skilled carving!
