What Voltage is Your Golf Cart?
How to Determine Golf Cart Voltage (36V or 48V Lead-Acid)
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
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
