Default EZ-Go TXT 36V with a bad battery.

Have an 97 EZ-GO TXT 36V. I could not figure out why the car stop moving so I parked it. Was in my building for a 3 months without charging... Wife went to charge it and charger would not even go on. Charged each bank of 2 batteries with my 12V Charger and 1 of the bank of 2 was giving me an error. Place the charger in 6V mode and try the battery goes to 30% and gives me an error. Check with a volt meter and it gives me Zero!!! Nothing NADA.

Now, my question is... according to the Negative Post batteries are March 2007 (C7). So 7 years... going on 8. Trojans 105s... since one of the batteries is not even charging, would that cause the charger not go turn on?

Any help is appreciated...

Thank You...

You need a new set of batteries for sure. The charger won't come on if the pack voltage is too low. You got good service life out of them if they are really that old.

My idea was to replace the "bad battery" with a used one. Not sure if anyone has ever done that. Just a temporary fix... Would that work?

Placing one new battery into an old pack will quickly deplete that new battery to the capacity of the rest of the pack, which is **** now anyway. It's time for a new pack.
