Will a 12v battery advertised for a golf caddy work in a golf cart?

QUESTION:
I don’t know anything about golf carts, but have just acquired one and need to power its 48v system. Golf caddy batteries look like just 12v deep cycle batteries so I don’t see why I can’t use four of them to power a golf cart. Any extra advice would be greatly appreciated.

I’m sure that you have 6 – 8 volt batteries. If you look you should be able to get them for about 100 dollars per and install them yourself.

You will have issues trying to reinvent the wheel by changing style of batteries – mounting for instance etc etc

You might save 200 dollars but is it worth the trouble – doubtful

Look for a trojan battery dealer or a local golf cart dealership and get the right thing and your cart will run like brand new
