I still haven't decided yet.
If I do 12 volts, I will rig them up in "buddy pairs" so I still have a decent total amount of amp hours.
12 volt would also be more flexible in positioning and arranging inside the vehicle. 12 volts would be almost the exact same size as the Yellow Top mock up I have in there.
6 volt golf cart batteries are supposed to be better in terms of deep cycling and length of life. They are more specialized, so they have to be bought at a dealer, instead of just off-the-shelf.
I think I will have to make up a mock-up for a Trojan T-105 and see how it looks and fits in the car. Not having a radiator makes some great space for two big batteries right up front!
From what I hear, every EVer ruins his first set of batteries really fast. With that in mind, I should get the cheapest batteries I can, maybe even used ones.
I can tell you one thing. My first ride in the Geo will be with four 12 volts on the passenger seat floor!
