2008.5 Club Car Won't Charge
Hello All,
I have not done anything to the batteries or the cart. They sat on the charger the entire winter. So either the charger is shot or my batteries are somehow shot. The batteries are original to the cart and are the Trojan batteries. I did notice that I failed to put it in tow mode and also left the key in the on position. Not sure if that is an issue here. I just check my batteries (4 - 12V batteries). Here are the voltages 1) 3.8v 2) 9.6v 3) No reading 4) 9.3v Nothing I do will get the charger to buzz. Is there a way to test my charger to know if that is the issue? Even if the charger is fine are my batteries shot? If I need to buy new batteries I can't do that till I know if my charger is working. Any ideas? Thanks Tom |

Jake,
Shot permanently? No saving them? Well anyone have advice on buying batteries they wish to share? Emphasis on price. TT |

prices very by area some say Sams club has good deals but you get what you pay for you could try chargeing each battery with a 12v charger but i dought they will make it very long if you get them up to 12v each try them on cart charger if it comes on its good ..let it charge til it shuts off |

Dang! I'm out some major dough then.
They only sell the 6v batteries. Anybody know of a good place in Michigan to buy the batteries? Thanks Tom |

Re: 2008.5 Club Car Won't Charge
Dude those Duracell batteries are $200 each. Trojan batteries don't even cost that much. Am I missing something?
Am I really looking at roughly $800 for batteries? I thought it'd be closer to $600. I'm really wishing right now I had gotten a gas cart. Tom |

Re: 2008.5 Club Car Won't Charge
I just bought 4 12v Interstate batteries for $848. Only good news is that is delivered to my door and installed.
Wow really wish I had paid the extra money for gas. Tom |

$700-$900 bucks every 6 or so years isn't too bad to maintain a vehicle... Plus sparkles are quieter and less fumey |
