Re: RXV battery conversion 4- 12v to 6- 8v
Am I understanding there is a plastic battery tray for 8v batteries and it is free? (RXV)

Re: RXV battery conversion 4- 12v to 6- 8v
FWIW: Here is a comparison between various 6 x 8V and 4 x 12V battery packs with estimated % increase or % decrease of range based on Trojan T-1275 batteries.
Note: If the T-1275 isn't the stock RXV battery, let me know and I'll redo the chart based on whatever the stock RXV battery is. |

1) How is the aluminum holding up in Texas weather and driving conditions? 2) Is there a plastic tray or a way to modify oem plastic tray to fit 6 batteries? 3) What did you use for tie downs and how/ where did you install them? 4) What helpful hints can you give me on removing and installing items to make it easier in hindsight? I live in Iowa and wonder weather wise if aluminum would be better over steel? My cart is used for golf only. We have high humidity during summer and would be driven in dew during morning rounds, also some rain. No winter driving, so no salt or sand. Thanks for your input! |

Re: RXV battery conversion 4- 12v to 6- 8v
ct, the part number I was given for the new battery tray for an RXV with 6 8 volts is 627889 from EZGo. It is steel but it bolts in..

Re: RXV battery conversion 4- 12v to 6- 8v
Thanks KGSC,
But, before I make the purchase I would like some feedback/ pros and cons on aluminum versus steel. I value people's opinions on this web site, they know a lot more about golf carts than I do I did write down the part number...Thanks again. Also getting prices on batteries as well. |

Hi. Happy to help where I can..... 1. the tray has been fine. Solid. No corrosion. 2. I did not see a way to modify the plastic tray for 6 batteries. Everywhere I looked, it was understood that to install 6 batteries, a new tray was required. 3. the new tray I purchased has compatible locations for oem tie downs . So I purchased, at local dealer, new metal bars that hooked to the tray and new plastic dividers to place between batteries. It is very solid. 4. I would do it again in a heartbeat. Switching the tray was very easy. Buy the tray, tie downs, dividers, a battery strap (to move batteries). If there are any other wiring projects you are contemplating, and willing right now to shell out cash, it is easier to work without batteries being in the way! |

Ok . I would like to amend my previous post. The aluminum tray would have been solid if the seam was welded properly or not failed under the stress of holding 6 - 8v batteries. Either way, this sucks. As pictured, the seam has failed. Que up the "I told you so". I can take it. |

Re: RXV battery conversion 4- 12v to 6- 8v
Probably just a bad weld. It happens. I would think that you can put a carriage bolt in it or have it rewelded.
