I think you will find most 48 volt golf carts do not have the space for 8 group GC-2 batteries, but instead use 6 GC-8 batteries
(8 volt) GC-2 and GC-8 are about the same size and weight, but GC-2 has about 225 amp-hrs while a GC-8 has about 165 amp-hours. Now days only the cheapest golf carts use flooded or VRLA batteries. The 54 or 72 volt lithium batteries seem to be the best sellers at least in the E-Z GO brand (Textron). I live in a retirement village where the primary transportation is a golf cart. In fact, we have our own golf cart sales and service person. It is amazing how much technology a E-Z GO Freedom golf cart contains. <https://ezgo.txtsv.com/sites/default/files/_attachments/resource/con-0819_72voltfreedom_ss_82546-g6_0.pdf>
