I have a 48 volt Club Car with 6 new 8 volt batteries last fall. I am using it to spray weed killer for food plots. I simply hooked the srayer accross one (1) battery. Yes it's a 12 volt sprayer but it seems to be working fine on 8 volts. My question is will the the battery pack equalize itself out or will this one battery become drained by itself, causing any problems? Is there a better way to hook up 12v accessories?

I would put a 12 volt deep cycle battery in the bagwell and run your sprayer off that.

I was running my on 6 volt at first by accident. I would check if the motor was getting extra hot running on 8v (not sure it would or not). 16 volts should not be over the top but I would just use 8 volts if it worked for your task OK and did not get super hot.
Now adding a 12v battery would be doing it by the text book but my farm boy streak over takes my geek streak in the these cases.
Now if you are going to be using the sprayer 40 hours a week for 10 weeks this summer then I to would the 12 volt battery option.
How many hours to you expect to be spraying a month?
