New Yamahas'
My course is looking to buy a new fleet of golf carts. I was woundering what the pros and cons are to the Yamahas?

Re: New Yamahas'
Every manufacture will tell you there's are the best for one point or another. Seems they have all learned 4 -12 volts are not good and went back to 6- 8 volts. My suggestion would to get the Big 3 (Yamaha/Club Car and Ezgo) to bring a demo car in for some drive/evaluation time. Then, the quoted/ bid, weather lease or purchase is the best deal. Also ask about maintance costs and finnaly the warranties. Some like to say..."a 4 year warranty", but really, it's a "limited warranty", useually the controller/motor/charger and transaxle will be covered for 4 years, but other parts have a time limit. Sorry I couldn't have been more help, I'm not a salesman, just a parts/service manager. Good luck

Re: New Yamahas'
So if I buy a 2009 with (4) 12V batteries, what problem will I have?
Thanks, Kev |

Re: New Yamahas'
4 year battery life. But, in reference to the original question, i have not seen a new yamaha with 4-12v batts in a few years, we dont order them that way any more. They can be ordered with 4-12v, 6-8v, or 8-6v (this is how we order them).

Re: New Yamahas'
So you are saying that the lower the voltage batteries the longer the life of them?

Re: New Yamahas'
Not exactly, but sorta... The 8-6v setup has the most lead, the most capacity of any typical 48v golf cart pack. (and most weight). The real lifespan benefit stems from depth of discharge from typical daily use. It can do the same daily job without draining the batts as deeply as a smaller pack doing the same job. Less discharge per use = longer life.

But more money to replace 8 batteries.

Re: New Yamahas'
I guess the cost averages out in the long run, between 4-12's, and 6-8's. I think I will worry about it when the time comes.
