I have been told that a solar panel works better if a cart owner installs lithium batteries.

I have a Sun Catcher Solar Panel which was installed a number of years ago. I suspect that I get some trickle down benefit but not what I was promised. Then again I never really tested it for distance.

I only use my golf cart for golf. I normally travel no more that 9 miles out play 9 holes of golf and return home. I occasionally play 18 holes of golf again with no problem. My analog voltage meter registers on the white when I return home. My trip home is uneventful meaning I feel no loss of power. My batteries are three years old.

I have 6-8 volt batteries but prefer 8-6 volts but my repair guy said he would have to modify my Precedent to fit all 8. My repair guy prefers the Club Car DS over any other cart.

I have driven other brand name carts and prefer the Club Car. I just don't like the local dealer. so if I buy again it will be a trip to Leesburg or Ocala or both
