Re: Unknown part on club car ds
I bought this cart for 150 bucks and had some decent 6 volts laying around. Since it's a 48 volt cart I didnt want to buy all 6 new 8 volt batteries for a cart I dont care much about, so it has 4 6 volt batteries and 2 new 12 volt deep cycle batteries. I'll be pulling off the drive side 6 volt batteries to get my 12 volts.

Re: Unknown part on club car ds
You are able to mix voltages when connected in series, they are all deep cycle. I dont see the issue??

Re: Unknown part on club car ds
I'm no battery guru but those 12v batteries have nowhere near the amp reserves as the 6v golf car batteries. That means they will be the first ones to run out of power and then will get severley overcharged when recharging (the 6v batteries will have lots of reserve left and will resist recharge past a certain point, leaving the 12v batteries to suck up the recharge by themselves). I figure they'll last about a year being roasted and toasted like that until they simply fail.

And its 1/3 the price and it's small enough to have onboard. The 6 amp charger does just fine overnight, the 12v batteries have a 1 year warranty, if it lasts two years, I will be extremely happy. You guys dont understand, I now have a 48volt cart with brand new tires, 2 new batteries, an onboard charger, rear seat, etc for only 350 bucks all together. If I need to replace the batteries in two years I dont care. Theres nothing dangerous about what I did because the 12 volt batteries are the same size and have the same volts per cell as the 6 volts. The charge has been lasting me all day and I've been driving it full throttle all the time. |
