'97 Club Car - I'd like some direction on where to start
I bought a '97 Club Car w/ a 36v system last year from a golf course going out of business. I more concerned with efficiency & functionality than I am looks & show. It’s been great and I plan on making some upgrades to it…
Replace Batteries (They are shot) Add Headlights & Taillights (For safety on the beach after dark.) Add Flip Rear Seat(Rear springs if needed) The most pressing of course is I know the batteries and cables need to be replaced & this is where my dilemma begins. My goal for next year is to use it for off road. I don’t want to spend all this money on 6volt batteries only to have to replace them when I upgrade to a higher speed/higher torque motor next year. I was also wanting to put a lift kit & larger tires on next year. Should I go back with 8 volt batteries now since I already have to replace them? Could I do this without upgrading the entire system? From reading other posts I believe if I went this route that I would probably have to install New Solenoid, New pb-6 Potentiometer, & New Speed Controller. If I did this would that get me out of upgrading the motor for now? Thanks for help here any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. CWH |

CHeck the stock controller it may be marked 36-48 volts? If it is no need to change it. THe pb-6 or MCOR will work, no need to change but, you are correct on the solenoid and the controller if it is not 48v rated.

PS: Don't forget $300 dollers for a new 48 Volt charger as soon as you install Batteries.

Scottyb, I'll check the speed controller while I'm at my father inlaws tomorrow. Ive had it at his farm for a few months now. Thanks for the help.
