Doer this cart use a speciality battery or can you use a standard lead acid 12v battery?

I bought this cart for my husband and he just uses regular batteries for it

It's a speciality battery. I don't recommend this cart. It has not worked well for me. The wheels are running at different RPMs so it constantly pulls to the right and no amount of adjustment has helped.

I believe it is a specialized battery. There is a plug in charger for it and you use the same plug to power the cart. Battery lasts more than 18 holes.

You need a 36V lead acid or lithium battery pac to power it. Three 12V sealed lead acid wired in series will work.

This battery could last only half of Interstat battery 12V.23ah in same condition, So,you know this junk. I bought this battery this year for my electric golf cart but I wouldn't buy again

U can use either reg battery cables or smaller 12V cables, battery has both large & small post. I've had 1 for 2 yrs its a good battery for trolling, get 4 to 5 hours on 50lb motor

Hello Melissa - no you can't use a regular 12V battery. If your hub is like mine it is a 36V motor which means you have to connect 3 smaller 12V batteries (like they use in e-bikes) in series to get the 30V required. Then you have to be sure the amp/hours or Ah are low enough to not "fry" your motor controller. You might be able to get good local advice from an e-bike repair person.

You will have to contact the company for that info. I have mine on two 6 volt golf cart batteries with no problem and I can't see why they wouldn't work on four.

While it might be awkward, you certainly could use a 12 volt automotive or marine battery. In fact, while I use mine with a lawn tractor, I use a marine battery used for a trolling motor rather than the tractor battery. This is because I was experiencing charging problems with the additional load on the tractor battery. I just strap the battery on the mower deck.

Devices with electric motors require a deep cycle battery that can be regularly drained of it's charge and then recharged. Starter batteries by contrast are designed to deliver short high current bursts to get an internal combustion engine running. Starter batteries are designed to use very little of their capacity at a time and need to be kept above 75% charge. These batteries while better and lighter than lead acid starter batteries are not deep cycle and should not be used for electric golf carts, trolling motors, electric skateboards, or electric bicycles.

Best bet is Dr. Power Equipment at http://www.drpower.com. they are the original manufacturer of the cart. A local battery specialty store may carry what you need as well. This option would possibly give you the oportunity to have your existing battery checked, in case the problem is elsewhere in the cart. I suggest you take the dead battery with you, and possibly the charger, if you visit a local supplier. The new battery will be about $100, but if your cart is a useful to you as I have found mine, well worth it. Good luck! If you find a better location for the battery replacement I'd be glad if you let me know. I need to replace mine as well.

I have a 48 volt e-z go golf cart and wanted to run lights on it for a fun night parade. each battery is 8 volts and there are 6 under the seat of the cart. So I hooked on to the positive of battery number one and the negative of battery number 3----making a 24 volt package---the inverter worked fine and ran my lights and boom box.

You can use one of the two 12V settings. Here is a quick description of the different settings, per the manufacturer.Setting 1: 12-Volt large capacity batteries such as golf carts or trolling motor batteriesSetting 2: 12-Volt low capacity batteries such as lawn mower or motorcycles batteriesSetting 3: 6 Volt Batteries

A battery is a battery and voltage is voltage. If the machine will run from 12V DC there is no reason you couldn't use it. I would have to imagine there are better solutions for that though.

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.

Yes, but...If you have room for two batteries, it's more efficient to use two six-volt batteries in series rather than your idea if using two twelve volt batteries in parallel. In a parallel installation, the two batteries, even if matched in capacity and age, usually have slightly different charges and the lesser charged battery sucks current out of the other one. So the battery bank tend to self discharge. Two six volt golf cart batteries are your best bet.

The battery I received here is marked 7800 milli Amp Hour, and should be the correct one I asked for. The only way to know for sure if is what is printed on the battery is a standard load test. a problem for most to perform. I usually trust what is printed unless performs poorly in the machine. my past experience is usually good to what is printed. good luck, I felt I got what I asked for.

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.

yes, 12 volt lead acid battery is fine. Observe polarity and fuse it with a 3 AMP fuse close to the battery.
