Golf Cart Batteries
The Harris batteries that came with my Vegas never were acceptable and one barely held a charge from the gitko. So out with the old and in with 6 volt golf cart batteries. It was a tight fit, and I had to modify the battery box by removing part of the lower support and replacing it with a removable section so I could more easily drop them in vertically. The golf cart batteries are taller and there was no clearance from the terminals to the aluminum underside of the step. I cut a section out of the aluminum, exposing the foam interior to prevent any possible short circuits. The length is also shorter, and that required adding spacers to keep them in place.
I also added a digital meter to keep tabs on charge and discharge rate.
