8 - 6 volt batteries is the best configuration. I was informed they have a range of 50 to 60 miles. Went to Brownwood and back, stopping at LSL on the way back and my needle did not move from fully charged, (estimated 30 to 35 mile trip). That's the longest trip I would ever need.
Modifying the frame of the cart would cost a few bucks, but the new batteries would be the major expense. I also had an automatic water refilling system for the batteries installed, and I find it very convenient.
I would recommend getting a "batteryminder", to slowly charge the battery for trips under 15 miles, and it desulfates the battery, at the same time. Hardly ever use the heavy duty charger as that will make the batteries need distilled water.
Hoping the above will make my batteries last 5 years, instead of the standard three.
Run great and I am one of those people who don't like the smell of fumes, but that's another thread..........
