Another Battery Question

Hecky50 · 02-16-2016, 09:00 PM

I have a 2008 CC Prescedent. Batteries are from 2011 (NAPA) I also have a ScottyB Digital meter. Batteries are always plugged in or on a Sav-a-battery maintainer. Today when i started to use the cart i had very little power. Meter registered 26 volts. Checked all connections ,tight. All batteries measured around 8.2/8.4 volts . one was at 7.8. After recharging can I attach my volt meter to the low battery and check the draw on that one battery over the others?
Thanks in advance.
If you had a choice US Battery or Crown?

Yes. And its suggested to do so while driving the cart. Check them all one at a time.

Thanks Epb. It did work The low battery dropped to minus numbers under load while the others stayed closer to 8 volts. I guess new batteries are in my future.

Typical lifespan is 5 years. You can source one used battery for now but, yeah, it's time to start planning that purchase
