Chrome doesn't make you go faster!!! Come on, everyone knows the "triple" wiper blades with the little wings, and clothes hanger for the radio antenna make you go faster. And you don't use air shocks to jack the back of the car up to look good, you use them to keep the car level when the trunk is full of sandbags for traction in the winter.....


Silly southerners!

Does anyone ( and by anyone I probably mean Ron ) know what king of runtime I would get from 4-125 ah 12 volt batteries in the cart. I want to go from 6-8volts to 4 12 volts but I don't want to strand myself somewhere. We only use the cart at the Fort so, it doesn't get alot of continuous use between charges , on a busy day it might get 1 or 2 hours total between charges . This ony happens if we take alot of time looping.I I know that they have higher ah batteries but, the price starts to get up there. For me to add 200-250 ah batts, I coould just about sell the current cart, add the money I woud spend on batteries and buy a gasser.. This is only from the limited price info I can find. The bigger batteries seem to run $200- $350.

Just want to make sure that ya'll don't think this is a question for Tungpo1 only..

[lisa8200]

Here are some pics of a couple carts I saw Thanksgiving weekend. Check out the rack on the back of that RV. It's also pulling a hummer.

Run 6 sixvolt batts in it that will give you your best run time.

Thanks for the response, I didn't mention that our cart is 48 volt so to run 6 volt batts, I would have to have 8 Batteries. I understand that more batts make for longer runtime. The reason I was asking is I was hoping to downsize to 4 batteries so I would have the room to install my speakers in the seat. I realize I will sacrifice run time by doing this but, I was hoping that with the small amount of use that our cart gets that it wouldn't be a problem. I wanted to see if 125 amp hour batts would run the cart for around an hour. I don't even think it would be near that much continuous. I'll just look into to 8 volts or try to come up with the money for the 12 volts with at least 250 amp hours.

DH is not happy with me spending so much time on these forums. So far I've told him I want a Mickey lamp ( Hey, I printed the easy to follow directions for him) and now after seeing these great golf carts I want him to "Pimp our Ride" before our trip next December!! (Hey, he's got 1 year, 1 week and 1 day to work on it - that's plenty of time) Am I asking too much?

Just tell him to buy mine. It's already pimped out. It would make the perfect Christmas present for both of us!!!

I love that idea, but we already have a golf cart (want to trade? ). Can you link me to a picture of yours. I tried finding it but there are over 600 posts to look through. Thanks

Steve wants to go to gas instead of electric...it is very nice...if you are a bama or seminole fan...

 

[LuckyinGa]

From the looks of that picture, he definitely wants to trade!!

 

[BigDaddyRog]
