Just sharing how I installed 12v batteries in my Yamaha G19 (G19e) golf cart instead of the recommended 8v batteries. It will work, as long as you unsure you are using deep cycle batteries. - Авто та транспорт
That’s what I need to do. I’m glad I found your video. Show Me the Money, thanks what I needed.
I went the opposite direction and crammed 8 6v golf cart batteries in our G19. My boss messed up and got 6 6v instead of the 8v. So I bought 2 more 6v to make it 48v again. Had to cut and reweld the brackets but now this thing will go probably all week without needing to be plugged in.
I picked up a 48v club and needed to replace batteries. I got 4 deep cycle from autozone and all is good. Plugged in the charger and no issues.
Was thinking about doing this to my 48v club car. Can you still use the original 48v charger that plugs in? Tia.
@Mike Turner yes you can.
Did you see a shortened range, or like the gentleman above was saying a rapid loss of power on hills?
@@thomasseitz5477 I never had any issues. But I live in Texas and it’s pretty flat around my area.
It's a good video but my experience has been different. I have an old EZGO 36 volt cart that a neighbor gave me. The batteries were trash. I bought three 12 volt deep cycle marine batteries at Walmart and installed them. They work okay at full charge. But I have a hilly property and they get depleted rapidly on the hills. Oddly, they never hold a full charge overnight and even when you charge them in the morning the charger won't push them high enough to go up and down my hills. Once you run them down a bit the charger will take them up all the way again. I've tried three different golf cart chargers and a couple of 12 volt chargers working separately. Maybe a 48 volt system is more rigorous and there's a wider margin of error. Maybe if the land you're navigating is flat this solution will work. Maybe if you ganged up three more batteries in parallel (giving you six) you'd have enough amperage to overcome the problem. But in my case the 12 volt deep cycle experiment is a failure.
Group 24 and 34 batteries will fit in place of golf cart batteries, only difference being height
Somebody gave me an old 36v golf cart. I bought three 50$ non deep cycle batteries and it has been running fine on them for months. They have a 2 year warranty so I don't care if it ruins them.
How long can you ride on them?
Just e careful as the manufacturer warranty limits the conditions of its use.
How do you charge them? With the golf cart charger?
Does your original 48v charger still charge your new 12vs? Also can you send me.your wire configuration?
Delayed response but, yes it does!
what you buy from walmart or costco is not the same as trojan or us battery ... if you cant them to last 10 years and be way better just go lithium and do the conversion .. and if not then get the best brand battery when going 12 volt deep cycle. There is heavy duty and extra heavy ... i went extra duty again at 255 bucks a batter 1100 bucks pretty much. It does hurt the pocket book but in a Gas powered side by side at 20 dollars a month (modest number and gas is expensive ) X times 12 months is 240 a year x 6 years is 1440 dollars not including oil or other maintence. So really You could spend alot more on a gas in the years . just hide 20 bucks a month and in 6 years you can pay for those batterys .
Great video, I'm going to go with Costco group 24 or 27. I will decide once I have had a chance to check measurements. I think 48 volt carts have 24 volt lights? So how do I change the headlights connection? Thanks
I switched mine over to Costco deep cycle group 24, they fit perfect, no alteration needed. Took about 20 minutes to install new batteries. I did blow out the head lights. So I ordered a 48 volt to 12 volt converter from Amazon.ca about $20
Buenas tardes tengo un carrito de golf con controlador curtis 2004 pero le coloco las 3 baterías de 12v para que me den los 36 v son de 750 amp cada una pero no me hace nada el carrito ? Será porq el controlador se protege? Los que tienen este tipo de controladores pueden trabajar también con baterías de 12 v es decir 3 baterías de 12 v 750 amper en ves de las 6 baterías de 6v 75 ampers que traen original
How much run time are you getting out of these?
I guess you can do it the 36v golf cart, too
How many amp hour are in one battery?
Did you need to change charger?
oh and did you need to get a certain cranking amps
No, Cranking amps are not necessary.
I'm seeking info for pairing correctly sized deep cycle batteries to my 500 watt motors for building an RC lawn mower. Do you have, or can you point me in the right direction to learn that? I recently learned MCA isn't wat's in the battery, but rather what it can do over time.
My golf cart has six 6v batteries (36v) that need replacement.
What about three Costco deep cycle 12v batteries for replacement?
My cart does not have lights or any other electrical stuff on it.
I’m seeing prices from $100 per 6v golf cart battery here in California.
You could take 6 batteries (all 12V deep cycle car batteries) run 3 in series, run the other 3 in series.
That'll give you 36V for each set.
Now run those 2 sets in parallel and it'll double your run time, and output voltage is still 36V.
Hello kinda in same situation as you had could u tell me what size cold cranking amp batteries u used found 3 different sizes at local farm store and how long of period they have lasted u for thanks
Three years going strong! Don't need any cranking amps - cranking is for starting.
try Golf Cart Doctor in Aurora CO, same batts for $708 plus tax.
I know these have to be deep cycle and I'm looking at options - I've so far learned that batteries are shown by "GROUP" size batteries (Group 24 and 27 are fairly common). Would you know if these are Group 24 batteries. Should be on the battery somewhere. For my cart, they can't be longer than 10 1/2 inches (or 26.6 centimeters). If not a group size, would you have the model number? Could you possible check on that. I would appreciate it. It was recommended to me by a golf cart company to use Group 31 batteries, but they are too long and won't fit. THX
Group 24 batteries are 10.25 inches so they’d fit. Just a smaller battery so you’ll get less mileage out of it. 24DC at Walmart is the cheapest and the same battery as anywhere else, just rebranded.
@@lickmigooch6108 you probably have one lol
Can anyone send me a wiring diagram to use 3 12 volt batteries in a club car
exactly
Did you notice an increase in speed and acceleration since you have shed 150lbs off the cart by using fewer batteries?
Not noticeably, no
Hey, thx for the vid. Do you still use the same chager to charge the golf cart?
Yes! The charger is the same one.
Your video is not working but I want to swap my gulf cart to 12volt deep cycle marine battery's I get them cheap . I saw your video and wanted to see your experience with it thanks
brian verlihay marine deep cycle and true deep cycle batteries are different types of batteries marine deep cycle aren’t gonna last long and the ranger isn’t gonna be very good.
how are the batteries holding up?
3 years so far, no problems!
What battery’s did you use. Any info on the battery’s. Thinking about doing same thing. Just to take around the neighborhood with the kid
Tony Banta Kirkland Deep cycle 12v batteries. Deep cycle is a must.
Have you done a full test on them. To see how long they will last That would be awesome to find out. Like run time
I've gone over 1 km with 4 people in the cart, and my battery meter (I installed in another video) read only 10-20% drain. They last.
M
Installed 4 new batteries golf cart doesn't move
Check your wiring configuration
How do you charge them, individually or somehow all together?
The same golf cart charger that comes with the cart. It's for charging 48v systems - and works with 12v, 8v, and 6v batteries - as long as the total voltage is 48v.
how long did they last?
Still going strong.
How the batteries holding up. Thinking about doing the same thing.
spykeeable me toooooo
Just great, working very well - Range is very good! I've gone more than a KM with 4 people in the cart and it was maybe 10-20% drained.
@@MediocreCoffee do you use the same charger that came from the golf cart? I have done the same thing yesterday with 3 12v for a 36v cart and wondering about the charging. Thanks
@@clatewilliams1769 Yes, same charger!
I was thinking of sealed maintenance free batteries ? Would that be a good option ?
You must use deep cycle batteries, automobile batteries will not work, also do not discharge your deep cycle batteries more than 50% state of charge or you will be damaging them.
carlos lopez thanks for getting back. Will keep that in mind. Have a good day!
Trogen battery 48 vote cost 9 hundred & 50 dollars that what most. Are buying for
Canadian Dollars vs US Dollars I expect.
Hello what happens if I use normal car batteries from ebay they would cost only the half of a set of deep cycle batteries?
They would become not usable very quickly. They're not meant to take a long draw like these are, they're meant for quick jolts like starting a car. Don't do it!
