car battery vs cart battery

taztrain · 11-11-2016, 01:01 PM

I have a project that hasnt went my way. It is currently 36v solenoid set up. I have built and tested it with 3 larger 12volt truck batteries. Will I get a huge run time and/or power increase with 6 6volts?

Yes.
Golf cart batteries have a unique heavy plate constriction which is different than the thin plate construction of a starting battery. Some differences of the this type of construction are:
1. more amperage storage
2. ability to maintain voltage while giving up large amounts of amperage quickly
3. ability to take a deep discharge without damage
4. The ability to do #1.2.3. for years with proper charging.

truck batteries are far from golf cart batteries. They are not designed for deep discharge.
