Battery problem need opinions?
I have 48v 2007 txt with 8 deka 245 amp. Batteries. Ive noticed a decrease in range. Batteries 3 yr. 10 months old. 7 read 6.43 or.44 except 1 read 5.4, the last in the string, after 15 mile run. I know this is bad, but should i just replace it or bite the bullet on 8 new ones. I'm leaning toward a good used one if i can find one. Opinions please.

Re: Battery problem need opinions?
You could look at one of the smaller Duracell batteries.. New may be close to the same ah as your current ones at 4 years old.

My bad, 6.34 and 6.33 measured with a digital meter. When fully charged I read 52.4 thats the dpi reading. No matter, the 5.4 is cooked, i will look for used, got a feelin, 245 amp used will be hard to find.

Re: Battery problem need opinions?
If your batteries are 4 years old, I would go for a new set instead of replacing the first failure. The others are not far behind probably.

Run at 42V until the next battery goes belly up and start saving for a matched 48V set of new batteries.
