Par Car did this for the charity, they would not recommend this and we as cart owners should never do this as it hurts the batteries. The deeper the discharge the shorter the life.Īs far as 90 miles? We know Par Car can go 81 miles, we just saw it in the Miles for Moffit, but we can also guess that the batteries were discharged 90% to a voltage around under 46.5 volts. When someone tells you how far they can go you have to wonder if they are discharging the batteries too far. A decent battery meter will help remind us. How far will a battery pack take us before the pack is discharged to 48.4 volts? If we wish to extend the life of our pack, we should do our best to never discharge our batteries past this point. I think the conversation about how far a set of batteries will take us has to ask more information. I also assume someone has checked the cart for brake drag, tire pressure and other stuff that can affect range. Hopefully your repair man has checked your batteries to explain why they do not go 35 miles. Maybe the Trojan T890 which has an AH rating of 190 would be better suited (more money). Not sure why a repairman would expect it to go further than the comparable Trojan. Looks like their 8 volt battery has the same specs as the Trojan T875. Not too familiar with Powertron (but I am just a DIY guy, so not too familiar with lots of stuff ). My repair guy simply does not believe the 90 mile figure.
I listening to people tell me there afre getting anywhere from 45 to 90 miles with 8/6. I want to get 35 miles without any effort.

My repair guy says I should get 35 miles with no effort but it isn't happening.and these are new Powertron which I had him replace free because the Trojan did not get that. We decided that “someday” we would love to try and stuff 8 6 volt batteries into a Club Car.Īfter 25 miles still have power but can feel the strain when I hit the pedal. Columbia has pretty tight control over replacement parts. We also learned that as a DIY it is harder to get parts for a Par Car if you wish to fix one up.
What my Dad and I learned from that Par Car was that having 8 6 volt batteries gives you better range than a cart with 6 8 volt batteries. I had no idea there were web sites that all people did was talk about golf carts, who would have thought? To be clear, at that time I had NO idea about battery packs, i.e., amp hour ratings, state of charge, amount to safely discharge pack, etc. As his pack aged, his yellow light would come on as he drove up the Chatham hill. From Chatham my Dad could come down and play Havana, then return home (28? miles). There seemed to be plenty of juice left in my pack. I could easily drive from Mallory to Lopez to play golf, come home and then go out to Spanish Springs and home again (35? miles). The thing that struck my Dad and I was the range difference between my Par Car and his Club Car.

Hopefully it is still rolling around in TV somewhere. The things I learned fixing that Par Car could be a thread in itself. I cut my teeth on this cart learning all kinds of stuff. I found a 2000 Par Car, which I paid $2700. My Dad had a 2003 Club Car which he had bought new. It was going to be electric, but that is all I knew. When we bought our home, I rushed out all excited and got a golf cart. It is fair to say that I knew NOTHING about electric carts when my wife and I bought our home in The Villages in 2007. He is making space for the extra two batteries in a different place that I did. In this thread I can also share my Dad’s project as he is currently converting a 1996 CC DS to hold 8 6 volt batteries.

I am not a professional cart mechanic or a professional writer, so bear with me. Hopefully there will be something of interest for others, or maybe someone had a different experience to share. At a minimum I thought sharing the cost, effort and results could be interesting. I have no ulterior motive for doing this, but to share the experience, I know some folks are interested as I get PMs on the subject.

As I find long posts difficult to write and read, I will post a series of posts on the effort when I get some time. Part of that effort was converting the cart from 6 - 8 volt batteries to 8 - 6 volt batteries.
I am creating this thread to share my experience fixing up a 2002 Club Car DS.
