Re: Can I put 4-12 volt batteries in my Club Car instead of 6-8 volt?
If the 8-6V can get you 60 miles then why doesn't club car offer it?
Also why does CC keep their carts below 20mph? Thanks |

. . . the fleets complained about loss of performance, ie, not enough rounds out of a charge, from what I understand . . .

Re: Can I put 4-12 volt batteries in my Club Car instead of 6-8 volt?
My golf course got "sold" on Precedents when they first came out (with 4 x 12v). A large portion of the 72 carts they leased, didn't even make it much past year two of their 3 year lease before the 12v batteries started failing in droves. CC almost lost-the-business for the upcoming lease period - CC took early trade out of the 4 x 12's and replaced all the fleet with 6 x 8v, but this time for a 4 year lease. It does need to be said that commercial use golf carts are worked pretty hard.
The 6 x 8v replacements survived the longer 4 year lease and are just now being traded out at the end of the longer lease term for a new fleet of 6 x 8v starting in 2014. CC got a big black-eye in the commercial cart world for their 4 x 12v blunder. |

Sounds like 6 8volt batts it is. My only other ? is will this conversion effect anything else on the cart like the charger or motor controller etc. I have a 2008 CC precedent.

No - everything is 100% compatible. Too bad, too - because I think they went to 6 x 8v in model year 2008 1/2. No kidding, I think they changed back half way thru that year! Like Maxwell Smart says...Missed it by "that much".

Re: Can I put 4-12 volt batteries in my Club Car instead of 6-8 volt?
Yeah that's a bummer the 4 12's that are in it are still working but they are original and I can tell they don't have much life left. But considering I picked the cart up for $800 and the rest of it is in great shape I'm still feeling pretty good about the purchase. Hopefully I can find a good deal on some 8's when these 12's completely die.

Assuming you weren't holding a gun and wearing a mask when you acquired it - that's a killer deal!
