Hi I have a 2001 club car with trojan 875 purchased last year 1/09 this year after one round of golf on fully charged batteries it hardly made it home sent to a dealer they found 2 bad batteries they have been replaced but the cart continues to run slow worst up hill after charging the battery voltage reads 52 volts. any suggestions on what to look for would be appreciated thank you hbuck1215@hotmail.com

Question was the cart running like this before battery replacement 1/09 or just since? It really sounds like you may have MORE bad batterys? For some reason the numbers 5 and 6 batterys ( #5 in front under your seat and #6 behind it ) seem to go bad first on Club Car?
Did they replace with NEW batterys or USED off the shelf, if new remember that new batterys take AT LEAST 10 charges before being up to full power and should have been placed on charger BEFORE FIRST USE. BESIDES its not a good idea to mix NEW batterys with older ones as they will be boiled trying to bring old batterys up to new ones.
