				8V92 alternator questions 
				 
					This one had 6 12v Group 24s until a bit over a month ago. Swapping out for 
				
				
				
			6-volt Golf Cart batteries is a common method of increasing capacity. They have nearly the same footprint as the Group 24, but are taller. 6 Group 24s is 450AH (6*75), while 6 Golf Carts in series-parallel is 660AH (3*220). Golf Cart batteries are also designed for sustained discharge at significant output. The one tradeoff is a loss in high-power output. The Group 24s are rated for 500 Cold-Cranking Amps, while the CCA of a GC battery is 800, so you get 3000 (6*500) vs 2400 (3*800). I worried a bit about that, but reading, and experience since, indicates that 2000 is plenty for starting an 8V92. On 2/20/2007 at 9:45 PM Leroy Eckert wrote: >You have 6v batteries?
