Golf Carts

I have to replace my 6 6V golf cart batteries for my mid 80's year Club Car. As 6V's are sometimes hard to find, can I replace with 3 12V car battteries as that's still 36 Volts?

Hi, Sherry -
Yep, the controller doesn't know the difference.

Two things to be aware of:

First, the size of a 12v battery might be different than a 6v, so you may have to accommodate that.

Second, your range might not be as good, as 12v batteries can be drained faster.

Regards,
Lynne
