Couple of links folks should read and understand:

Alan,
How many miles do you go before you charge your pack? I presume you do not charge every day. Also say that you use your cart a lot which means you have to charge every day. Would that mean that the batteries would last say 500 to 600 days ie the "normal" amount of cycles a battery has?
Seems to me that since we'll be buying south of 466 A, and if I get a sparky, I should definitley get one that has eight 6 volt batteries to max range and to have a set of batteries last at least 4 years...
Your thots please
Allan
