Wow, we have never been told this before when we've bought new batteries for carts we've had in the past. Figured it was like a car battery, you buy it, it comes charged, you use it. We put the new batteries in a few weeks ago and that's when our F/R switch melted from heat on the cables. So sounds like the batteries were mighty powerful then??? We did check them when we put them into the cart and each was registering 8.4 on our digital voltimeter. We've run the cart around alot and since the light was starting to flicker.

Figured that we'd jarred some other wire in the process of changing out our 6ga for 4ga cables and was hoping for a pointer from those with more experience???? Not to get spanked for running the cart on new batteries straight from the store.
