I just finished a conversion, but buy the Ever-Start 29DC $119.98. ($404.80) Saved $300.00 over Costco (6×6V) and $500.00 over a battery store. The batteries aren't apples to apples but it'll work.
At the :40 second mark I was thinking you replaced the batteries with a airplane motor. LOL =)
Thanks For Info
Works Great and saved me ton of money 👍
What matters is the reduced weight using 12 volt batteries.
Any update on these batteries? I'm going to replace mine this weekend and may go this route instead of the 6v
The exhaust on that electric ez go sounds like a small aircraft....
There is an airport nearby and planes are coming and going all the time
36v is 36v it doesn't matter if you use 6x6 or 3x12. If you had a 48v you also have the option of using 8v batteries so its technically not a conversion. The 6v are not "golf cart" batteries. They are just 6v deep cycle. Charging is not affected because its still 36v. The advantage of using 12v is upfront cost and weight. The thing is, the 12v will most likely be needing to be replaced twice as often. A 12v will also be discharged more than and 8v or 6v which is what kills the battery. Ive been told by several avid golfers that the 12v batteries get about 25% lessdistance per charge compared to using 6v batteries. Good video series.
Do you reread what you say sometimes and think the same thing I'm thinking ? No adult likes to be talked down to or wants to listen to over detailed examples of obviously basic math. I hope you don't think your the only person on UA-cam to have graduated from elementary school . Come on man show some respect to the guy that posted the video and keep your damn mouth shut unless , like momma says, you have nice things to say. For example I could choose to point out how I question your knowledge on this matter based on the fact that you know many "avid" golfers but must not play golf or else you would know first hand what to expect when making this conversion and would also know that buying 3x12's twice is still cheaper and I've never had a charged cart not make it thru 18 holes of golf and back to the barn after a stop by the clubhouse for a cold beverage. C'mon man it's a win win in my book
These batteries are now $90 each in April 2024. Still a good deal. One year free replacement warranty.
You'll get less range because: six 6 volt Trojan batteries for instance contain much more lead ( plates) then just the three .12 Volt deep cycle batteries.
I have used 3 group 27 RV batteries in my 36v cart a few times, they last about 4 years, maybe a little less. Maybe I'll try a $800. Lithium next?
Lol I'm not that rich. I would rather spend less than $300 for the whole set up even if it only last 4 years
Picking up this exact model cart when I can get a trailer to do so. I know the 6 6volt batteries that are in it are shot, completely and utterly. This is exactly what I was looking at doing, $1200 for batteries, no thanks. How does the torq compare? I am mainly getting a cart for my wife to haul her stuff around the homestead.
Very good info. Thanks
Any advice on wiring? Possibly post a wiring diagram from original to new wiring?
Really not trying to be rude, but if you don't understand the wiring for the normal 6-6v batteries and can't understand how to wire 3-12v in it's place, you probably shouldn't try.
Run them in series.
Will be doing the same thing with my cart, none of my wires are hooked up so I am working to figure out where they go. For your three battery setup where does the negative come back to complete the circuit? And where does the other wire go that is closest to controller? Thanks in advance.
How are they holding up? How long can you go before having to recharge them?
They are doing great! I am recharging about once a month. And use the golf cart 3-4 times a week.
Last summer my son replaced the batteries to 3 12 volt batteries in my ez go golf cart. It ran fine for a while but it wont hold a charge. Do i need a specific charger? One small trip and the batterie were dead.
Seems weird, no I use my original battery charger that came with the golfcart for the past 4 years. Stay tuned and I am going to try a new battery charger that just arrived in the mail
Did you have to swap motor wires, s1 and s2?
What range do you get on these? How many miles until you have to recharge?
The original trojan 105 battery is 225 amp hours, so it's 8.1 kwh for all 6. At a 50 percent depth of discharge they have a range of 30 miles. The everstart 24dc battery is 101 amp hours, so 3.63 kwh for all 3. At a 50 percent depth of discharge they have a range of 13 miles. So roughly 43 percent range of the original batteries.
Excellent!
Mine is a Ezgo marathon golf cart and I wired up the deep cycle batteries but I'm still getting no power. I've already replaced the solenoid, resistor & the forward/reverse switch and I'm still getting no power to the solenoid or anything
That's weird, did the golf cart work before you tried doing this? Check the voltage and make sure it's 36-38volts
double check to see if you have all hooked up positive to negative 36 volt
Solenoid switch in gas pedal assembly maybe?
make sure the charging recepticle cables are hooked up, or it won't work (red white and black). Been there done that when switching to lithium. Even though the lithiums have their own charger, still need to connect the old charger cables for the circuitry to work.
Can you still use the charger ???
Yes!!!
What gauge of wires did you use for the batteries? How often are you charging?
I used the original wires that were in the golfcart. I am only guessing 8 gauge? Maybe? And charge about once a week
I put in 6 12v. It was a 1/3 of the price and it last at least 27 holes.
You put 72 volts in a 36 volt golf cart? Running a couple in parallel also?
Six 6V golf cart batteries are $600 and up. Six 12V batteries are $560 and up. How is that 1/3 of the price?
@@princeinflorida214There is no way your paying 600$ for 6 6v golf cart batteries unless there “restored”, “refurbished”. It’s closer to 800$-1000$ depending if you purchase online or at a dealer although not 1/3 the price definitely better than full price before you take into account the shorter life span
How much ?
Will this damage the motor at all? I have an 89 EZ-GO TEXTRON which is similar to the marathon. I’m thinking about changing 6 , 6volt batteries to 3 12 volt batteries from Walmart
They won't hurt the motor at all but in less than a year he will need to replace the batteries. They work very well for about 2 months, then start loosing charging capacity fast. I have tried it with many kinds of 12 volt batteries.
No, It will not damage your motor. The Walmart batteries are a good choice because they have a 1-year free replacement warranty. And it's Walmart, so I would imagine you could return them for any reason.
@@RoadMisfit187 LLP
Just changed mine over 1 of the batteries is getting warm and acid is leaking out trying to figure out what I did wrong...any ideas?
Wow, I don't know but think I would disconnect it and replace the battery
@@RoadMisfit187 I had my both charge wires on the 1st battery . Fixed
you are using marine batteries which are cold cranking amps and golf cart batteries are amp hours storage batteries, the ammount of lead is cut by 80% with what your doing and if your using your factory powerwise charger you are frying the batteries because it is set to amp hour not cold cranking amps, you barely get any run time and so after 8 months they will not work and be fried so you have to spend 300 every year compared to 6 6v Trojans for a total of 1050 and them last 5 years and get full run time and charge or spend 1400 on batteries you barely get run time out of, not to mention how cold cranking amps affects your 5 pin controller and solenoid which is another 900 to replace… coming from a golf cart master tech
He could also put another string of batteries in and run them series/parallel. This would give him the amp hours needed so the charger won't burn them up. Also get more run time. Personally, I wouldn't use Everstart batteries though.
Apparently you're wrong he said it works great
Hey jake. Jus got a 36v ezgo txt and the batteries are all saying 6.2- to 6.6. And the battery meter on the dash says full. But after two trips around the block it dies and loses power. ?? What tests can i do to test the batteries or parts
Coming from an electrical engineer, the "cold cranking amps" is not a QUALITY of the battery's output, but a measure of high current capability, which is determined by the circuitry, not the battery, so this parameter would have no bearing on a controller. As for the charger, the internal resistance of the battery will naturally limit the charger's output, and if it's a modern charger, it will cycle normally through Bulk, Acceptance, and Float. The only real downside to using 12v deep cycle batteries is that they will have less capacity, and therefore less range. 6V is better, but 12V Deep Cycle might be more cost effective depending on how the cart is used.
@@harlanroot8849 Probably need new batteries. Some have been able to save them by using a 200 amp charger or even a DC welder. There are several UA-cam videos showing this. I've had semi-successful luck but in the end a new battery is the best way to go. I've been able to get another season out of batteries but by winter they're toast again.
If you watch the UA-cam videos and decide to charge. If you're using a welder, make sure it's DC (not AC) and make sure the polarity is correct. Very important.
Dude lifepo4 wth
Are you using the same charger as before ?
Yes, the original EZGO charger and I have only had to charge the batteries the first day. The battery gauge still shows 50-60% I will do another video today
ua-cam.com/video/uf5RmWNoXEw/v-deo.html
Same I use the factory charger with my 3 12 volt setup unless they become super low then sometimes you have to individual each one a little bit first.
The Ezgo charger wants to see at least 30 volts or it won't turn on. You can hear a little click if the residual voltage is high enough to allow the charger to turn on.
i did the 3 12v and it works good. thinking about using 6 battery's and doing a series parallel circuit to double my amp hrs. has anyone tried this
That's a good idea and didn't think about that. So far for what I use my golfcart for it is working just fine on the three batteries
This is what I’m thinking about doing!
By the time you buy six 12V batteries there is little cost advantage if any. The cost savings here is the fact that only three batteries need be purchased.
