battery replacement
guys,
back in january I started having some issues with my 2006 trojan batteries. After reading and posting we determined it was time for a new set of batteries. so.... local dealer recommends US batteries as opposed to trojans because of what he has seen/learned/read about the short 12v trojan battery life. From what I read I think everybody still goes with trojan. 1. anybody running the US batteries and really like them compared to the trojans? and I've also seen some posts on warranty replacement of batteries but no where do I see who to call. 2. Should i try calling Club Car about these 2006 batteries? Does anybody know where to call specifically about this? Or is this a long shot? thanks for the help. |

Re: battery replacement
I would check with your local club car dealer, from what I have read on some of the posts the club car had a 4 year warranty on the batteries maybe yours would fit in that category, whether they do or not you will have to talk to a dealer club car will just refer you back to your local dealer if you call them.

2) It's a long shot, and probably a waste of time. |

Re: battery replacement
I still stand by my several posts that the OBC's were bad in a lot of 04,05,06. Mine was replaced under warranty in July of 09' along with the batteries.(I am the 3rd owner)( I was also just a few days from being out of warranty,lucky I guess) The version number on my OBC now is 3.0. If I understand this correctly any version under that was to be replaced under warranty along with the batteries. The company that made the OBC evidently was not charging the batteries correctly there by ruining the batteries over a period of time. I called the Club Car distributor for the State of Wisconsin to get my info. I also do not know if you are out of the 4 year warranty if you will get a replacement for no charge. Am not sure who you would contact outside of Wis. I have a 05' Precedent. That's about all I know.

It's a beautiful cart but I'm not sure how it stacks up for warranty repairs as far as the factory is concerned. Out of curiosity what stipulations does CC have when purchasing a cart from a golf course? And what about mods done to the cart? |

Re: battery replacement
one more thing to keep in mind..... 16,000 energy units is your cut off for battery warranty as I stated before... Your larger tires are pulling more Energy Units from the car. I don't know how many energy units it's got but I'd be willing to bet it's expired... I was at a course today doing battery changeouts on 2007 Precedents and some of them had near 25,000... that should kind of give you an idea.
