7th battery?

[royflynn]

on a 36v cart.. 6 x 6volt.. can you add another battery wired parallel to increase
overall amps? if so... any recommendations on HOW to do it?

thanks

In theory yes but, the batteries would go out of balance and you would run into problems.

On a series cart you can add a 7th battery in series and increase your voltage to 42v. It would add about 15% in speed and torque. You would also need to make sure your controller can handle the increase and you would also need to find a way to charge it.

I added a seventh battery in series to my '92 Marathon. By moving the controller/solenoid mount back there was room for it in the center. I am using a Alltrax AXE 4844 controller and a Delta QuiQ 48 charger set for 42v. My 36v speed was 10 mph and on 42v it is 15 mph. I kept the solenoid activation coil on 36v.
