Did you ever consider going with seven 6V batteries for 42V?

Prolly not much help.

Yea, thanks for bringing O'Douls to the party.....

Try the 6-8volts and if you don't like the run time I will buy them. At a discounted rate of course

Good luck with your decision. I will be going with 6-8s for space and weight reasons. In a really muddy hunting season I used the 36v set up for a week without charging with no problems. The first hundred yards onto the lease was really rutted and we kept high centering the cart so we left it and crossed the muddy section with a 4wd 4wheeler. 200+ more pounds would have made the come-a-long clinic even worse than the 2 hour ordeal it was.
