48 volt battery conversion!!!
Hey gang,
I have been going through the forums, but can't find the info on it. My buddies said that when I have to replace my batteries in my 2003 Club Car DS 48 volt model (6 x 8 volt sys.) I could use 4 x 12 volt batteries. So is this true? Would my cart charge the same and would this not screw up my OBC? Thanks alot. |

When going to 4x12volt batteries reduces run time vs the 6x8v or 8x6v . 48volts is 48volts

Re: 48 volt battery conversion!!!
It may be worth it for you. A lot of people including myself, switch from 4-12v to 6-8v. 8v and 6v batteries give longer run times and by most accounts have a longer life. 12v batteries are becoming harder to find, with fewer companies manufacturing them. If they will fit in your battery box without alteration it may be worth trying a set.

Re: 48 volt battery conversion!!!
Some advice , in the long run you will regret buying the 12 volt batts get 6 volt
That gives you the longest run time and life , my 2cents worth , do not cheap out on batts . Cheers ! |
