But you have to replace controller and solenoid. $400-550 have to get six 8v bats or eight 6v. Need a 48v charger $150 used to $280 new. And the time to swap all the parts. Yes your batteries are shot from those numbers. Or charger and there not chargeing? A full charge on 36v pack is higher than 36. Same thing as a 12v battery that reads 12 is dead! |

Re: EZGO 36V electric cart slow uphill
We service a hilly area.
48v is the way to go for hills. |

Re: EZGO 36V electric cart slow uphill
I have an older gas too. I think in some ways that is cheaper. You can get a clone engine from a builder for like $500. Even less from HF. That's what a set of batteries costs and they don't have the same torque issues as bad. Even if you have to put a new motor in every 5 years your still cheaper as there is no controller or charger to buy.
But electric is cool to me. It has that different factor. Plus I am a hunter. I don't want all that racket, the stink from the exhaust, mine burns some oil so I get exhaust stink plus burn oil smell . Not a smell you want when your hunting. I just will have the Crack of twigs and crunch of leaves, well that and the visual of the moving cart. |

Re: EZGO 36V electric cart slow uphill
My family prefers the electric as well. Quiet and starts-up much more smoothly. Will likely get anew set of batteries this season and decide if I want to sell it before they go dead the next time. :-) Had some trouble with melting posts as well. Need to be very careful it seems with the smallest amount of corrosion.
Come to think of it - I'm not sure any of neighbors have an electric. Hmmmm... Thanks for all the very knowledgable comments. Greatly appreciated! |

Hundreds, possibly thousands of members have increased the operating voltage of their carts from 36 to 48 volts. I try to give it to you in a nut shell Why? 36v motor run on 48v will produce 33% more rpms and torque. (speed & power) How? The controller & solenoid must be 48v compatible. They may need upgrading. Get 48v worth of batteries = 6/8v or 8/6v and a 48v charger. What to expect? Expect more power through the whole pedal range. Expect longer run time. |

Re: EZGO 36V electric cart slow uphill
Thanks Scotty. I'll look into it. I have a "wiper" so I don't think I have a typical
controller. This is the a coil/resistor set-up. Not sure if this makes a difference. On the batteries, not sure how 8 would fit, are there ever any space issues with the batteries? At any rate, I appreciate all the help. I seek to educate myself on the 48v option by looking through other threads. |
