Babyjuice Posted March 29, 2012 Report Posted March 29, 2012 Ok, so I have a western caddilac golf cart with dead batteries resting at 2 volts right now. First question is, can I charge them back to 6 and be fine? Second is, its a 42 volt system so it has 7 6 volt batteries, I went to Napa and a golf cart shop and they quoted me 800 for new batteries. I wanted to know if there was a cheaper way to get this thing running? Any help is greatly appreciated. Ps. After I get it running I plan on putting a system in it Quote BABYJUICE
killallblue Posted March 29, 2012 Report Posted March 29, 2012 Is each batt at 2 volts or a total 2 volts Quote
Babyjuice Posted March 29, 2012 Author Report Posted March 29, 2012 Each battery is at 2 volts. Quote BABYJUICE

Babyjuice Posted March 29, 2012 Author Report Posted March 29, 2012 What kind of batteries does it need? Can I use 6 volt sealed lead acid batteries for it? Theyre only 35 bucks a peace Quote BABYJUICE
Rebel4055 Posted March 29, 2012 Report Posted March 29, 2012 That would be your cheapest option. Like a old briggs motor or something. Quote Rest In Peace mother. January 22, 1955 - February 14, 2013 http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/user/35351-megrch/
Quiet Posted March 29, 2012 Report Posted March 29, 2012 My brother restores club cars for a living. you're about right at that $800 mark for replacement batts. Just like some subs can take more power, so can those electric motors. My brother wired a 36 volt club car at 48 and got it to do 27mph and could leave marks on asphalt. Quote 2007 Pacifica Rebuild. Less quiet. Still not loud.
Babyjuice Posted March 29, 2012 Author Report Posted March 29, 2012 My gfs dad has a couple briggs and straton motors, but for the mean time I want to put batteries in there and get it running. Do you think 48 volts will fuck anything up on a 42 volt set up? Quote BABYJUICE
