6 8's or 4 12's
Have visited several dealers recently and they all seem to have plenty of 12's but very very few 8's. I am leaning towards the 8's but am not sure at this point. What are the basic differences/advantages of one over the other? I'm close to buying my first car. THANKS!!

Re: 6 8's or 4 12's
go with the 8,s theres a reason everyone has 12,s laying around thats because even all the dealers went back to 8,s ...............more years service out of them ( if maintained ) and longer runtime...............only drawback is money spent but if you treat them right they should and could last as long or longer than 2 sets of 12,s...................................

Also, if you get a killer deal on an older Precedent, you can upgrade to 6 8v batts by getting a kit for around $400. Something to consider... Also #2, My '07 Precedent got 4 years of service from the OEM Trojan batts, so I just put 4 new ones in, as I didn't want to spend the $$ on the kit. |

I have ran the 12's in both of my carts (past and current) and had no issues with them including longevity. I use US Batteries and provide proper maintenance.

Re: 6 8's or 4 12's
we all have different opinons correct and he asked i answered......keep in mind that not everyone maintains their batteries the same.................so i stand by running 8,s over 12,s ..........one thing the 12,s will never do is give you the run time 8,s will and thats a big deal for some people..............maybe not for someone who just uses it around the house or to grab the mail .............................

Re: 6 8's or 4 12's
Stupid question, benefits & cost to run 6 12's=72 volt?
I have not researched this. Steve |
