So the extra batteries will give more amps = distance but it will be diminished by the extra weight.

A club cart is about 500 lbs add the extra batteries so it's now 650 lbs.

that really hurts going up the small hills & tunnels.

Now the cost to add the batteries & cables $225-$250
cost to fabricate the bracket?????

Maintain more batteries

I know I'm bias, but the solar option blows this idea away in many other ways.

Jimbo,

Good info from you. Thanks!

OK...here's the $64,000 question: When will your solar-powered cart be ready for action....May, June, ??? Inquiring minds are inquiring. <g>
