How do old batteries effect perfomrance
I am trying to decide if I need new batteries in my CC. I have noticed that they take and hold a charge fine but it seems to have less power especially when going up hill. I have a 2-3 degree slope and it can barely get up it meaning it slows to a crawl. Seems fine on the flats but the hills kill it.
So do you all think this is likely the batteries or something else? |

Attach a voltmeter to the pack and place it on the seat. Watch the meter as you crawl up the steepest hill..... and tell us what the pack voltage drops to.

^^^^this . Some batteries can take and hold a charge but as time goes they can't take the load.
Like Toby Keith once said. "I'm not as good as I once was but I'm as good once as I ever was." Kind of like that anyways |

Loss of distance and what you are experiencing is usually the first thing you will see start to happen with older batteries.
