'new' batteries
Have a chance to get a ezgo carryall ( has a 4x4 bed on back with long roof that covers it ) , in the bed is a set of 'new' batteries . The fellow that has it now got it this way , also has a set of new cables , the batteries have been on the cart so long that the paper lables are beginning to come off of them , but have never been installed ,question is can a 'new ' battery go bad from non use ?

Re: 'new' batteries
When you say "non-use" do you mean several months, years? A few weeks to a few months is probly ok but the longer it sets the more likely. Batteries should be charged every few months at least to keep them in good condition..

Re: 'new' batteries
The man that has it now has had it for almost a year , and the batteries were on the bed when he picked it up , I would have to guess they have been there for 2 years or more . It's too far to go just to look at the top of the battery to see the year , and he don't have a clue as to the age of yhem .

Re: 'new' batteries
Maybe he can check them with a voltmeter for you. It sounds like they have sat too long....
