EZGO Batteries
My EZGO has four AC Delco 1150 12 V Batteries that were new approx 2.5 years ago. I can now barely get through nine holes of golf before they start to go dead. What happens is the cart will slow to a crawl, I then turn off the key and am able to go again for approx 25-30 feet before having to repeat the process. I am able to get through nine holes (my course is a 9 holer) but on the way back to my place this starts to happen. I used to be able to go a couple of days on a charge. What can I do to revive these batteries? Am I overcharging? I plug in my cart all the time after use - I read somewhere this was the best procedure but now I am thinking maybe not. This is my first electric cart and it has been great up until now.

Re: EZGO Batteries
Its time for new batteries, try top tier batteries this time (trojan, us battery). If you have lights that draw off one battery, get a dc/dc convertor, so the load of the lights is drawn equally from all batteries instead of only one.

Re: EZGO Batteries
Have you checked the electrolyte level? Have you checked the batteries voltage during and after charging. Until you make some voltage measurements and check out a few things all anybody can do is guess.

Re: EZGO Batteries
That is what was in the cart when I bought it. What would have been in the cart originally as all the cabling and the trays look like it was made for four GRP31 batteries. Would I be able to get a bit more life out of my batteries if I charged each one individually with a smart charge battery charger?

Re: EZGO Batteries
What kind of cart? My guess is if it looks like it should have 4-12v then its an RVX which would come with 4-12v Trojan 1275s which are a golf cart battery. A popular upgrade on this site would be to go with 6-8v T-175's which would give you a greater range and longer battery life but does require a new battery tray and new cables.

Re: EZGO Batteries
I think you mean 4-12v other wise 4-8v is only 32v but yes 4-12v golf cart batteries will do you a lot better than any "heavy duty" or "deep cycle" making the switch to 6-8v would give you longer range and battery life.
