Re: Add one battery for 36 to 12v?
Actually the using 8 batteries for 48v is overrated. The extra 2 batteries weigh a lot more than 6-8v batteries which hurts both your performance and range. 6-8v batteries fit nice and clean in the original battery rack and most people find that their range is more than acceptable especially if you use high end 8v batteries.
One down side is that you can't jump 2 batteries together to get 12v for accessories, but you should really be using a converter to power accessories off the full pack to keep all the batteries balanced. |

Re: Add one battery for 36 to 12v?
Also harder to find an 8 volt charger if batteries get too low to initiate a charge, but you can always "jump" it with another 48 volt buggy. 6-8 volt batteries have got to be a lot cheaper too.

Some will, some won't. The voltage specs I've seen on Curtis 1206, 1206MX and 1206SX (EZGO Series - PDS - DCS) controllers is a single voltage (36V) while others list a range of voltages. Check the voltage specs for your controller to be sure. |
