Default WOW what a headache!!!

My head hurts I have been doing so much reading on here

Ok, My car (best I can tell) is a Yamaha 1999 36 volt G16....can't find a serial number.

My car has qty 6, 6volt batteries= 36 volts. I can buy qty 3, 12volt batteries to do the samething?
I want to add accessories later like stereo and lights, so I need to run those on a 12volt Deep Cycle battery seperate from the main batteries and use seperate charger?
I am not concerned with speed. The man I bought mine from said he took something out of the resistor that governs the speed. I don't know!!!

Am I on the right track or am I all confused???

Thanks!!

3 12 volts will work...however you wont have nearly the run-time you will need to be happy and your charger may not work properly...best way to go is too replace with 6 volts like it was designed for. Running a sep battery for lights and access is one route but requires that battery to be trickle charged sep from the rest of your pack, alternative solution and a better way is to get a voltage reducer that draws of all batteries instead of just two and no sep charger...there is no resistor that gov speed on a G16...

Thanks Cam!! I didn't replace the 6-6volts, they are brand new from previous owner. I am just trying to read and fidure out the best way to run the accessories.
I will get a voltage reducer like you mentioned and wire them in that way. Becuase I have NO ROOM for a 12volt deep cycle!!
No resistor huh? What is the big coil in there between all the batteries?
Thanks!!

Not sure what you mean by big coil...g16's are controller based carts there should be no coil lol you may be referring to the solenoid but a pic would get us in the right direction...

Maybe it's not a 1999. I can't take a pic of it right now.
It looks like a big coil of wire mounted to a bracket and it gets hot when you are running the car.
I will see if I can find a pic on here.

Well it's somewhere between an "83"-"93"
Found this, mine is the second wiring diagram:

I need to find some numbers on this thing so I know.
