I have a 2002 48 volt club car and the problem I'm having is the battery that my positive cable is coming off of going to the selanoid keep draining down to around 6 volts. The batteries are all new. I've replaced the one battery once already and it drained as well. The other 5 are holding their 8 volts.

SOURCE: When accelerating alternator light comes on.

Possible loose or worn alternator belt. Check the condition of the belt. If it's worn, replace it. If it's just loose, tighten it up.

You will need to check for battery voltage at the back of the alternator. The larger red wire.

SOURCE: battery draining with ignition off, clicking sound

Find the relay making the clicking noise by setting your finger on top lightly, then check map on under side of cover for identification.

SOURCE: I have a 39 ford 6 volt battery operated car. I

you need a voltage doubler circuit which feeds from your 6V DC system and converts it to AC and steps it up and converts it to 12V DC. This device might be difficult to find. OR use a 6Vdc power inverter and just use a 120volt AC fan if much easier to source out in your area.
You might want to try a 12VDC high speed fan and see if the 50% reduced speed is already sufficient for you.

What can I do to fix the battery from draining? Or is it something else?
Hello Dorothy, I doubt that it is your battery. The battery is drained down overnight because of a current draw. I would check to make sure the glove box light is not on. With the engine OFF, You can disconnect the positive battery cable and install a volt meter between the positive battery cable and the positive battery terminal. A draw on the electrical system will show on the volt meter as 12 volts. Disconnect fuses in the fuse box until the draw is no longer 12 volts. That might help you determine where the draw is coming from. A draw could also be caused by a problem in the alternator. You might need to isolate the alternator to find the draw.

Nothing wrong with altenator nor battery but want keep a charge
Disconnect battery when not in use and see if it will start if you connect it back up just before you need to use it. If it works something is draining battery.

48 volt club car 4 12 v batteries one batterie checks 20 v when I single it out when I unhook it it checks 12 v
If you have 4 off 12 volt batteries connected in series (positive to negative leaving a positive terminal and negative terminal with no wires on then that is 48 volts. To check the batteries you have to disconnect each battery and have a load test done on each battery for 12 volts and dead cells. To get 20 volts you still have 2 batteries connected together with a good battery connected to a battery with a dead cell or else you would have 24 volts.

My 97 chrysler sebring was running fine, then one day the battery light came on and it died, we replaced the battery two days ago, and the car drained my battery again, i dont know why its doing that!
with the battery fully charged, you need to check the alternator, but first make sure all of the battery connections are clean , and tight,, with a multimeter, set the meter to DC volts,, place the red lead on the positive battery post, and the black one on the negative post, with the car running, you should get a reading of no less than 13.5 volts, if not you have a bad alternator,, if the reading you get is between the 13.5 and 14.5 volts your alt is fine, and you have something else draining your battery ., but keep in mind that if the cables were in bad shape , the alternator couldn't supply the power back to the battery with the loss it had while starting the car , here is a good link to see how to check the cars electrical system

Battery drains when car is on. Verified it is not
Sure sounds like a bad alternator to me-how did you verify the alt is okay? It should be putting out around 13.5 volts. Let engine idle-remove positive battery cable-if engine dies immediately, it IS the alternator.

If the alternator only puts out about 12/13 volts, the car's voltage consumption could be exceeding that; hence, intermittent charge/battery light.

The battery has 12.6 volts. The battery/charge light will come on if your car's voltage requirements exceed that. (Alternator pulley not spinning fast enough?) Loose alternator belt slipping could also cause this symptom.

Alternators CAN go inoperative intermittently.

Hope this helps.

I have a slow drain on my car battery. I puller
Use a 12volt test light between the positive battery post and the positive cable with the positive cable disconnected from the battery.
Keep key off.
You will see the test light "light" with any drain.

Any drain showing a dim test light is..... OK
Any drain showing a bright light is.....BAD

Disconnect items (fuses) one at a time and watch the light.
Keep the doors closed....the inside dome light is a drain with the door open!
After fuses are checked....disconnect the alt if needed and watch the light.
Keep going until you get rid of the bright light.
