My OEM Trojans lasted 5 years My current Trojans are just over a year old and good as new. 51 volts after overnight rest

Oh, and they are the 12 volt crap ones

I'm sure six 8 volters are better, but not worth changing out the bucket and the hassle that goes with it. Way too many wires to play with.

Some carts already have a bucket that will fit 8 v bats and if not the bucket can be modified without moving electronics and at no costs.

You are right though, I would not waste $400 for the club car bucket conversion, and it does involve relocating electronics.
