𝐃𝐎 𝐈 𝐇𝐀𝐕𝐄 𝐀 𝟑𝟔𝐕 𝐎𝐑 𝟒𝟖𝐕 𝐆𝐎𝐋𝐅 𝐂𝐀𝐑𝐓? HOW MANY BATTERIES ARE IN A GOLF CART? An electric golf cart will have either 4, 6 or 8 golf cart batteries and will have either a 36 volt or 48 volt electrical drive system. How to Determine Golf Cart Voltage (36V or 48V) 1) Lift up your golf cart seat to locate the battery compartment. 2) Count the number of holes on a battery Usually 3, 4 or 6 holes 3) Multiply the number of holes by 2 to determine the golf cart battery voltage EACH HOLE/CELL IS EQUAL TO 2 VOLTS 4) Multiply the golf cart battery voltage by the total number of golf cart batteries Batteries for a 36 Volt Golf Cart (6V Batteries): 3 holes X 2 volts = 6 volt battery 6 volt battery X 6 total batteries = 36 volt system Batteries for a 48 Volt Golf Cart (8V Batteries) 4 holes X 2 volts = 8 volt battery 8 volt battery X 6 total batteries = 48 volt system 8 Volt Golf Cart Battery 8 Volt Golf Cart Battery - No Cap 48 Volt Golf Cart Voltage Example (12V Batteries) 6 holes X 2 volts = 12 volt battery 12 volt battery X 4 total batteries = 48 volt system
