golf carts are normally 36 or 48 volt if you try and go with less it is like driving with the brake on. for best results you want deep cycle batteries and the more battery area the better so on a 36 volt system 6 - 6volt batteries are better than 3 -12 volt batteries.

automobile batteries are no longer designed for consistent capacity drain... they are designed to commence up the engine and that's it - after that the alternator takes over... specific under pressure good you may get 36VDC out of three automobile batteries, yet they does no longer be helpful in preserving the charge... you will possibly want deep cycle batteries (including those utilized in trailers, and RVs) in case you have been to apply them for an electric automobile like a golf cart...

I wouldn't recommend it. Conventional car batteries are constantly being charged and are just used to start a car. If you want to run down a battery without damaging it you're best off looking for 12volt "deep cycle" batteries which are designed to be drained and charged repeatedly.

NO. They use DEEP discharge 12v battery. Car batteries become damaged if they are deeply discharged.
Marine batteries (boat batteries) are often DEEP discharge battery.
Good Luck...
