RXV six 8 volt conversion
My 5 1/2 year old 12v Trojan battery pack won't take a full charge and gets hot when charging. It shows 51.9 volts after twelve hours unplugged from the DPI
. Question one is do you think it's safe to continue to charge and use the cart until I get everything together to do the conversion? I have one bad battery but all 4 are boiling when charging with the seat up. I talked to the dealer today to get an conversion estimate with 2 gauge cables, $1120 for the six 8v Trojans and the conversion tray from EZGO with the cost of being two cores short. Plus their guess??? of $500 labor because the body needs to come off. I was told they can't get any cables now from their suppliers and that 2 gauge is too heavy to bolt on the batteries. I'd be ok with using 4 gauge again but would prefer 2ga. If the body has to come off I might as well do a spray bomb camo paint job with Fusion and take care of any corrosion while saving the 5 bills. So more question time. Is it worth using 2 ga cables and will they bolt to the batteries? Doe's anyone make a cable kit for the RXV with six 8v batt's in 2 or 4 ga? If I have to buy individual cables can anyone provide a list of the lengths needed and recommend a supplier? Whats the part number for the battery tray and is their an off the shelf alternative to the EZGO one for $250? I tried a few searches with no luck so any help is greatly appreciated. |

Re: RXV six 8 volt conversion
They're full of it! So full of it.
- "Body has to be removed" - wrong, I've never removed the body for the rxv 8v battery tray conversion. - "2g cables are too big" - well, just ask anyone other then that delership. - "missing 2 cores" -(well, possible, I guess) , most battery distributors count a 12v "GC12" as 1.5 cores of the smaller, lighter "GC2 & GC8". Think about it, fewer of the GC12 batteries fit on a pallet and they are getting 52lb of free battery weight when they count your GC12 core (85lb) as only having the value of the GC8 core (62lb). |
