I would not do that. The 8v can't have the same capacity as the 6v if it's is the same size. I free exchange for a used 6v with the other 5 at end of life isn't a bad idea. Might get you another year. Definitely not worth getting 1 new one in with the old. It will be wrecked in short order.

Subject: (ET) 8v battery in the mix?
My pack is probably 7-10 years old, and still does all I need it to--or did until I found one battery open circuit this spring.
As I understand it, putting one new battery in with the other 5 does no favors to the new guy.
My local golf cart dealer will basically exchange a 'decent' old trade-in battery --when he gets one--for my dead one. He's already been through the spring rush though, so no idea when that might be.
He does have some trade-in deep cycle 8v batteries though, which seem to be the same physical size. Any chance adding one to the mix might not be too much, until a 6v shows up??
I do have a couple of ICE riders I can use, if this is a bad idea.
Thanks.
