adding 8 volt to 6 volt system
i have a 36 volt system that i want to change all batteries to new, I spoke with a guy today at the golf shop and he said he can put 6 new batteries and two of the six will be 8 volt batteries giving me more like 40 volts. for more speed
Is this ok or can it harm the motor and controller? I am ordering a new emp motor too... ????? |

Re: adding 8 volt to 6 volt system
If he is willing to replace the controller when it goes poof, then sure go for it. I have no idea how you are gonna charge a 40v cart.......
His theory is OK (more voltage = higher speed), but his technique is lacking. |

Re: adding 8 volt to 6 volt system
Can I just change out the controller and batteries to be at 48 or is there a lot more..I'm sure this is an age old question

Re: adding 8 volt to 6 volt system
To convert to 48v you need :
48v Controller 36 or 48v solenoid rated high enough for the controller and system draw. Cable system & F&R switching capable of delivering the higher voltage and amperage A 48v Charger |
