36v and 12v Battery Charging

I have a 36v powerwise portable charger for my EZGO TXT. My question is this, I swapped the original 6v bats to 3 12v deep cycles and a separate 12v deep cycle for accessories. How can I interconnect the 36v bank to the 12v so the charger will charge both simultaneously? Can I just parallel the last bat in the bank to the 12v?

how many AH are the 3 12V batteries each ?

if the original powerwise charger has a control board in it, that was designed for 225 AH batteries
it will try to put 225AH back in your 3 12V, which will overcharge and ruin them
ask me how i know

the best you can do is buy 6 new 6V 225AH GOLF CART batteries. this will give you the performance, range, and longevity you will want
or buy 3 12V chargers to charge them individually

Don't you think if 12v deep cycle/Marine/RV/Solar batteries were a good option for Golf carts the manufacturers would already be putting those in from the factory to save money? Those batteries may have been cheaper to purchase but they are not well suited for use in carts due to the high amperage draw from a cart. Golf cart batteries have high discharge ratings that you won't get out of those deep cycle/Marine/RV/Solar batteries The voltage sag under load will be starving your cart for power. Things will get hot under low voltage and start to burn up starting with solenoid and probably your FNR switch next. If you want to speed up the process put some 23" tires on there and get ready for that electrical meltdown smell to start and look where the smoke is coming from to see what needs to be replaced next. Even if you buy good Trojan batteries six 6 volt batteries is a much better option than putting in 3 @12 volts.
