Group 27?
Those are RV/Marine batteries which are "combination" starting/deepcycle, they do either job poorly. .go to Sam's or Costco and get their 6V or 8V GC2 batteries..
They are labeled Deep Cycle with 109 AH rating. No starting rating. Both are less than six months old and work great for camping trips.
8-6's will not fit.
Go with SIX of 8V GC2s instead which is most likely what your Cart was built for.
Group 27 ARE combination batteries and 109 Ahr is HALF of what a GC2 battery is rated. And YES those combination batteries will have something to the effect of "DEEP CYCLE" written on them, it is a marketing ploy and is deceptive at best.
Sams and Costco also carry 8V GC batteries and they WILL outperform any group 27 out there for a Golf cart application.
Getting the correct battery will actually be cheaper in the long run, you will be killing the group 27s even with a measly 1/4 mile run..
Besides, pushing a golf cart by hand doesn't sound like much fun when the group27s decide to give out at the wrong time..
