      This will all depend on age of batteries, year of cart and if it's been partially or fully restored. I bought a partial restored 10' model with brand new Trojan batteries for $2300. Mods I'll be 2k+ when I'm done. I'd say 5k or under you did pretty good. When I'm done with mine he had one for sale almost identical. It was 7k. I decided to do the work myself for a small project.

        So the price is still small compared to a Ranger then

          Stay away from the carts with 4-12 volt batteries. Their run time is not good.

            It is a huge trade off. I just sold my crew 800 to go to a golf cart. You give up everything to be quiet. I still haven't worked out the little noises with the cart I want to, but it's not too bad. You have to think power, room, hauling and suspension. I literally crawl with the cart at the lease. The cart will do what I want it to for now. I will sell it when polaris comes out with an ev crew. They say it's not in the works right now.

                  6-8 volts or 8-6 volts if it's 48 volts. The more batteries the longer the range.

                        How hard is it to switch from 4 batteries to the 6 or 8. My cart seems to do well but when i need new batteries id be willing to switch over

                          I've never done it but they do sell a kit to do it so it shouldn't be too difficult.

                              I usually just plug it in between hunts and at night just to make sure I'm fully charged. It's best not to let the batteries drop below 50% charge on a regular basis.
                              Awesome. Thanks for the info guys.

                              I actually measured the distance yesterday on google earth and it is 3.75mi to the stand and 3.75 back. I want the quietness but it looks like I may be back in the market for a Jeep Cherokee XJ.

                                We are on a new lease trying to be as quiet as possible and sneak around. There's a few good deer that we are trying to slip in on. Ranger was just too loud.
