The reason i am trying to separate the batteries from the carts motor batteries is i need all the power possible to drive this thing. it has a 6" lift, 25 inch tires and 48V.

I'm assuming both batteries are the same amp hour.

Is it possible one of your two batteries is draining the "good" one? Have you tried just one battery? It sounds like you have run the loads with the two individually, but the batteries die when both are in parallel. If both seem to work separately but not when in parallel, you can either buy a bigger battery, or run two separate accessory circuits, but you'd have to charge them separately.

R u telling me a 160- 180 amp/ hr 12 volt deep cycle marine battery cannot run your accessories ?? what do you have for accessories everything accept the kitchen sink
Good luck

I think rated amp hours on deep cycle batteries take us WAY below the SOC we're comfortable running.

[Sir Nuke]

well if you look back to the OP.....he was using 2 small 12v batteries that he uses to run deer feeders, not normal deep cycle batteries.

That's my point put in a decent size separate 12 volt deep cycle for your accessories and
bobs your uncle your Ready to go

YEP, that or install a DC Pack to 12v converter.....or 2, depending how much all his acc. need to run.
