I still have some tidying up to do but I did this in a matter of two hours (with dinner in between).

All I can say is a sonic tool or oscillating tool is a MUST for this mod

Really old thread... But where did you land the blue wire with the in line reset? Was on the last positive terminal on the old 12v setup. Thans

Hi all,

Will be starting this conversion on my 06 Precedent next week! Had read in another post here or on another forum that said one would require the Powerdrive 3 to properly charge the new 6x8 volt configuration. Has anyone ever had issues using a Powerdrive 2 from the 4x12 for their new 6x8 conversion?

Thanks,
Gazoo

Man I cannot tell you how happy I am that I ran across this thread, just ordered 6 Trojan T-890 batteries because my setup has sucked using 4-12v. I will post my results as well because this is way better than what I was planning on doing

Thank you! Without your post I would have never tried this

Very nice.
So that's what a nice clean battery compartment with new batteries looks like?
Been so long since I've seen something like that, I forgot what it looks like.
I like.

Hi all!
I'm new here and really liked the post on the battery conversion. I have a 2008 Club Precedent that I would like to convert for better run time and battery life. If I'm following the post correctly, I can fit 6 eight volt batteries in my existing battery tub without mods (other than the batter cables) and can use my existing battery charger? Can someone please confirm? Thanks.
