turboaz2...I found one of the 48 v onboard desulfanators for about $90. Do you know how these are installed on a cart? Could i do it myself?

These work well. As do many others. It's easy to install.

You just connect it to the ends of the battery pack.



So, based on the diagram above it would attach to 1 +(positive) and 4 -(Negative)

Well, for what it's worth I took my cart out this morning for a test ride and it looks like the weak battery i replaced with the other used one was at least my main problem because my cart is now going at it's "normal" speed, not as slow as it had gotten to be. So Im keeping my fingers crossed and will be watching my batteries, testing etc like a hawk hoping they last a few more months or maybe till end of year.

I would have been lost without the help i received from this forum.Thanks to everyone who gave me good advice. I really appreciate it!!

I'm sort of optimistic at this point. I will definitely be looking for a replacement charger which has the desulfate mode .

thanks for your help.
While the BatteryMINDer somes with a version that automatically keeps stored bateries charged it is NOT a REPLACEMENT charger a charger you can use but is a charger that will keep hot batteries hot AFTER you current charger gets them that way.

What is your experience with the batteryminder 48v. on a 8 battery 6v ea. setup. Talked to Batteryminder a while back, they recommended 2 of the 24v. Really don't want to buy 2 if it will work buying just 1. Whoops, speaking of the onboard desulfators. Thanks
