*If* you have the physical space for the batteries and their containers and *if* you are set up for wet-cell charging voltages and *if* your racing class still allows wet cells, golf cart batteries are rugged and cheap. The life-cycle cost is lower than anything else and they are far harder to damage than anything else. One thing that will kill them right off is a stock alternator and stock regulator trying to charge them at 13.8 volts or so. That will sulfate them pretty quick. OTOH they will tolerate high charging voltages with no damage as long as they don't get boiled. Joe Della Barba j...@dellabarba.com

Listers, I know the battery topic has been discharged (pun intended) quite a bit, but I've been hearing about people using chained 6V Golf Cart batteries as a preferred alternate to the Marine 12Vs for the house bank. Has anyone tried this? If so, how many do you use? 4? 6? 8? Any problems? Happy with the results? 4.5 months to the relaunch....... All the best, Edd ------------------------------- Edd M.
