Best battery
Looking to upgrade a 2000 Club Car 48 volt system. I plan to use the car mainly for street use. Would like to increase speed to maybe 30 - 35 mph.
I will be upgrading the controller to 500 amps. What are the best batteries available. Iam looking at the US batteries and the Trojans. Thanks |

Re: Best battery
Welcome, Bailey! Can't go wrong with Trojans.....6 T-875's. US has good batts, too. I just haven't tried them.

Re: Best battery
For long range use. Trojans Hands down. US batteries are coming on strong though. I can get close to 30 miles on my set in the monster cart. I have 9-8volts. I just couldn't see the price differance when I bought them.

Re: Best battery
Andy,
Do you know anything about agm vs lead acid? Pros and cons.. I heard that some of the racers use them because better for high amp applications? Also that they charge quicker? Do they discharge faster? I have a 36 that needs batteries and a controller, so I'm going 48. Looking for the best battery for my application.. Any advice is.appreciated Actually, the cart is for the kids, I'm just in charge of making it look purdy.. |

Re: Best battery
I have been hearing that the Trojan batteries are having some problems now that the company is trying to cut costs. Does anyone know if this is true

I would buy the trojans if money isn't a issue. If money is tight go with the US battery 8 volts. They are good batteries. |
