If the operating range is between 7 volts and 15 volts, can I test an 8V golf cart battery? I need a response from the manufacturer

I do not know the DC voltage of a golf cart, but it will test the 8-volt battery. Is the battery fully charged? The tester comes with an owner's manual which offers a detailed description of the tester's capabilities and test instructions.

I have never heard of a 8v golf cart battery, it sounds like a 12 volt battery that is in need of a charge. I would charge the battery and get the cca or ca and go for the test.

It is rated for 6 or 12 volt. It will read the voltage range, but I think you should look for a different load tester. we use to put a load on the battery to determine condition for replacement. Ideally all batteries in the same pack should be replaced at the same time. Those who use their golf carts twice a year or lack funds will not spend the money. If you have one bad battery in the pack and it has warranty, trade in. Then replace all when others start failing. You can go further by testing open or shorted cell in battery. (Many options)

Don't think you can. The cart uses twin 12volt,7AH batteries coupled together with a fuse into a single connector. Those batteries should provide at least 30-40 min of Funtime.

The Meter is set to the voltage and isn't fussy about the brand of the golf cart. Just be sure order the correct voltage. After using this bar style. I still prefer the needle meter.

you can't test amps like that. only volts. and you should be getting anywhere from 12 to 14 volts on a fully charged battery..

I dont think so because the headlight is most likely 12 volt and the cart is 36. It is east to install and i really like knowing where my battery charge is at instead of guessing. I charge much less than I use too and I have never noticed that it had any drain on the batteries.

There is a setting for 12volts but I wouldn't use this tester for a car battery. I would would either use a load tester or take it to an auto parts store or garage and have them test it.

From their web page: "The Little Switch is rated at 100 amps continuous service and 500 amps for 10 second surges..." At 36 volts, you are not going to exceed the dielectric of the materials that isolate the poles on it unless a conductive media is introduced between the poles. (salt water...) I see no issue working on your golf cart. http://www.flamingriver.com/index.php/products/c0015/s0008/FR1002

It may for a very little amount of time, I would say go with a couple golf cart batteries.

Not that I know of, they run 12 volt a system, check to see if your lights on your golf car are 12 or six volt

Yes- even is says 6 or 12 Volts- it will still check a 8 volt put the Red on the + side and the Black on the _ side and read the volts should read 7 or better --Then hold the load switch and it should read between 12 and 6 volt if is not a bad battery-Some of the old car restorers use 8 volt Batteries in what used to call for 6 Volt to make them turn over faster

Depends on how many batteries you have. Gc2 everyready 6 volt golf cart batteries from Sams Club should be enough. And your location also is a factor.

There are 2 different voltage reducers available, one for a 48 volt cart and the other for a 36 volt cart. You need the one that matches the voltage of your cart. If you are unsure what the voltage of your cart is, measure the voltage of one of the batteries and multiply by the number of batteries. The total voltage may be a volt or two above the 36 or 48 volt level. For instance, a good set of 8 volt batteries that are fully charged will measure around 50 volts. You want the voltage reducer closest to the total. I hope that this helps!!!

I don't see why not. It's designed to run off of 12VDC, so assuming the electrical system on your golf cart is 12V, I would assume you could make it work.

Yes. If you have a 36 or 48 volt golf cart it effectively reduces the voltage to output 12V.

Yes, that's exactly what I use it for. A 48V golf cart with four 12V batteries in series.

An 8 volt rated battery should test at 8.6V- It may read that 8.6 after a charge, but the test is to use it for a minute or so to clear the top charge. If it still reads 8.6, not less than 8.5V, your battery is in all likely hood OK. Hope this helps...John
