Used 12v Batteries vs New 8 volt batteries
I am looking at buying a used 2007 Club Car that has four 12 volt batteries that are no younger than 2007 models. I know absolutely nothing about the condition or maintenance of the batteries as the dealer is just buying a "load" of used carts next week.
Should I just use the 2007 batteries as long as they will last or should I go ahead and spend the extra $500 to get 6 brand new Trojan 8 volt batteries installed now? I will be getting the cart lifted with at least 22 inch tires and a flip flop rear seat installed. We will be using the cart in our paved neighborhood, but also for turkey hunting. Thanks, Thomas |

If the dealer will convert the battery tray and sell you 6 fresh Trojan T-105's for $500, do not walk, RUN to this dealer and make the deal.

The best price I could ever get on the 6-8v T875s was about $625. |

The conversion to 6 - 8 volts is the way to go, and the conversion has come way down on the early models.

The 6 volt batterys will give you more run time. We had a customer that just would not buy 6 volt batterys and he wanted the 3 - 12volts that came in the cart and his run time is not very long? JMO
