golf carts
knight4576 asked:


I’ve got an old Cushman (1970 I’m told) gas powered golf cart that I’m fixing up. I want to add lights, radio, PA system and such to it for use in events. The battery that’s in there now is like a tractor battery, maybe 2/3 the size of a decent car battery. I want to change the battery, but I also do not want to overload the charging system in the cart. Does anyone have any input on this?
It’s a 12V battery/system in it now.

    doesnt matter long as it fits

    battery doesnt put out a charge over what charging system wil put out

    12 volt battery that hooks up same way is good
    if changing system is working it wil handle a light or radio
    and can install a bigger battery if you can fit it buger wil cut down charging time but its how much you use the power

    As long as it is a twelve volt system and a twelve volt battery, it does not matter.
