Re: Battery melted around post
I decided I will replace the whole set of Trojans for my 36v system, but it will be a couple months before I can sink the money. I considered refurbished Exides....cause I can get those for a lot less and a lot sooner, but heard I should stick with trojans.
Couldn't find any available used batteries in the area, so in the meantime I needed to get the cart up a long and very steep driveway to be garaged - so I bought 1-new trojan and replaced the three questionable post cables with the same 6-ga grade. After installing I ran the cart down the block and up the driveway and found that the the two cables that I didn't replace were warm and somewhat brittle feeling....but the three new flexible cables were cool to the touch. I'll be replacing those two cables as well.
