Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / RVs / March 20066v. Golf cart battery comment
We just got back from three days of boondocking with another couple in a 38' motorhome. Months ago, I changed from two 12v. batteries to two 6v. batteries. If you are nearing the end of your batteries' life span, consider putting 6v. batteries in there instead. For the three days, we dropped from 12.4v to 11.2 v. With the previous two 12v. batteries, we would have been at 9.6v. somewhere into the second day and the LP and CO alarms would have been chirping. (They always wait until 2 AM) Huge difference, and no increase in cost. Steve >We just got back from three days of boondocking with another couple in a 38' >motorhome.

Do remember though that battiers loose capacity with age 12v or 6v and do their best for the first 25 to 50 cycles and then is a a slow down hill after that. > Those golf cart batteries are great for that stuff and ruggidly built > too.

Everything's relative. I have used the same 4 golf cart batteries since 2001, living in the trailer full time. A friend of mine has used the same pair for 7 years, most of it fulltiming. They won't last forever, but they last a looong time. bob www.arcatapet.net/bobgiddings > Everything's relative.

I never expected them to last forever, just to do better than what they replaced. They have done that by far. And I recommend it to all. I think it was Lon who swayed me when I was in the process of changing them. Steve |
