Default Another Shon fan, different reason

I also recommend Shon, but not for the same reason. I bought a 2008 Club Car DS in January from a private seller that had older 4x12 volt batteries. Looking for maximum range, I wanted to convert to an 8x6 volt system. I talked to at least 8 different vendors and got 6 estimates on the project. Shon was the only one, (which he confidently predicted) that insisted I needed a different charger for the new system. I even talked to a tech at the battery charger manufacturer in my research, who could not say for sure either way whether a new charger was necessary or not.

Estimates ranged from $1500 to $2200 (plus tax). Because of the added cost of the new charger, Shon was easily the highest estimate. I almost never go with the highest priced vendor, but in this case, I felt like he knew something that others didn't.

I am extremely pleased with the results. I haven't done any range tests, so couldn't say (yet) how far it will go. I believe it is a bit faster, although Shon did not claim the project would increase the speed. But I am totally convinced that the man knows Club Car golf carts!
