Re: Drive 48volt batteries
Most all of the 48v/12v batt carts have the problem of short run time and very costly batts that in some cases only last 3 yrs,The fix is converting to 8 volts,there is a kit for the CC DS,there are threads here on converting CC Precident,I don't know if any for a Yamaha.Info over here on the Yami side is a little slow comming but it will come,I'm sure it's been done cause it is a common problem.

Re: Drive 48volt batteries
As far as I know there isn't a kit to convert it to hold 6- 8 volts. Yamaha did change back to 6 - 8 volts in 2012 carts. I had a customer ask if we could change his. All you would have to do is change the floor pan (yamaha calls it the Footrest) with the 2012 footrest. This is the part that the batteries sit on it cost about $150. Option #2 You do have space in the center to fabricate a way to put two batteries there.

Re: Drive 48volt batteries
8 volt batts will fit without modification just will need new (longer) battery cables. two batts on each side like factory then two batts in the center. The 8 volts give more runtime they are better batteries and they cost less.
