Since I have been hi-jacking your thread, I figured it would be good manners to at least weigh in on your question . I do not own but I have driven. I love the EZGO AC motor and braking system. They had some issues in 09'ish, but seem to have resolved. IMO I would go directly to 6-8v pack. The fact that the dealer says you could go 45 with either config makes my hair stand up. I would have to ask him/her a follow up question. I am curious what is the cost difference between 4-12 and 6-8?

Not that long ago, when I looked at EZGO in 2010, the ad in the paper said RXV went 60 miles. Four 12 volt batteries going 60 miles? SO much for truth in advertising . This was the dealer on 441 north of 42.

Back to my hijack. I question where folks get the numbers. When I say I question, I am not questioning anyone's character (you, BB or Franlk7), I am questioning to learn. I question how deeply my pack is discharged after going 50 miles.

The only numbers I trust are when someone tells me I went here, here, here and here and my ending voltage was xx.x. Even a pack of T105s has a hard time pushing 60 miles without too deep a discharge. From my inexperienced eye the Ranger seems to deliver somewhere between a T890 and a T105.

Maybe putting these in a EZGO RXV which is supposed to be at least 10% more efficient may yield some amazing results.

Anyone know the cost diff of T890 versus Ranger off the top of the head?

Good luck!

Wife bought a new Par Car....went from our home in Hillsborough to Glenview CC, played 18 then to LSL for lunch, down Morse back home. Wife went to Brownwood Publix then Pinelles Library then back home. Don't know what watts, volts, giga thingies divided by something were (because I didn't do well in math and really don't care) but it was still in the green when we plugged it in. Waiting for delivery of my Star EV (we will have his and her carts).....love electric, love quiet and love no fumes.
