Yet another battery question!
I have a 2006 PDS that is used strictly for playing golf, and is used about twice a week. It may be time to replace the batteries soon. My question is not which brand to buy, as has been hashed about quite frequently, but about capacity.
I can get a US Battery 1800XC for around $77 per battery, or a US Battery 2200XC for around $90 per battery. The 2200 weighs 7 pounds more and has greater specs than the 1800 all around. Given that the cart is used strictly on the golf course about twice a week on average, would it be worth the extra $13 per battery, or could I expect the 1800 to do the job. I currently have Trojan T105's, and have not maintained them as I should, hence the reason I may need to replace them! Thought about Sam's Club or Costco, but the Costco price is about the same as the 1800XC price I got, and I certainly would go US Battery over Costco. I am just wondering if the 1800XC would do the job of getting me around the course just as good as the 2200XC. Thanks in advance. Bob |

Re: Yet another battery question!
how many mile do you think you run the cart when you use it for the day, this will help to answer your question better

Re: Yet another battery question!
I don't have a clue on miles. I usually play 18 holes on Saturday, and 18 holes on Sunday, and during the summer months will play 9 holes on Wednesday evenings, and that is about the usage it will get all year long.
It is about 3 miles around the course if I keep it in the fairway and don't have to drive all over the course looking for the ball! |

Re: Yet another battery question!
Maximum run time would go to the US XC2200's but you may not need that.
The specs are as follows: Trojan T-105 - 225 Amp Hours - 447 mins @ 25 amps US Battery XC1800 - 208 Amp Hours - 392 mins @ 25 amps US Battery XC2200 - 232 Amp Hours - 474 mins @ 25 amps Sam's Energizer GC-2 - 225 Amp Hours - 447 mins @ 25 amps The free replacement warranty on US Battery and Sam's is 1 year. I would say that the 1800's would be fine for golf but for only $7 a battery ($42) I would get the better 2200's. A round is usually in the 5 mile range so you should be able to get at least 2 rounds plus quite a bit of additional driving on the cheaper ones. |
