Golf cart charging going problems
Hello everybody- I know this subject might be a little bit of a stretch for you guy's, but I figure I would throw it out to see if anybody wants to take a swing: I have a Club Car 48 volt cart which was probably made in 01-03. I have been having problems getting the batterie to charge, and since they were three years old, low quality batteries, I replaced them. The old batteries were 8 volt, so the cart required 6 batteries. I replaced these 6 8 volt batteries with 4 12 volt batteries. The cart ran at full power for about ten minutes and then decided to quit, luckily right by the back of my shop. At this point I am assuming my problem might be with the on board computer- does this sound like the right thought process, or am I missing something?
Also, I know the charger is good.

Golf cart charging going problems
Thanks fo all of the replies- I'll will try to address all of the questions with one reply:
Same voltage, 48 volts to 48 volts. The batteries we are using are deep cycle marine batteries, typically used for trolling. We stopped using the more expensive batteries around these parts because I cant count on my staff members to get them recharged on a regular basis- so what ends up happening (over and over) is the batteries get drained to nothing and the cart dies in the woods. Thus, killing the battery, or that is what the battery people tell me. However, the batteries in question were brand new. There was no smoke or smell when the cart died. No, I have not tried to recharge the batteries solo with a car charger- I will try that tonight.

Murf- are you suggesting that going to fewer batteries with higher voltage would cause a the increase of current that I wouldnt have with more batteries with identicle overall voltage? The mathmatics behind this(if I understand you correctly) would suggest that the current increase would be identicle with identicle voltages.
Please explain how I have this wrong.
