Which batteries to buy?????

I have D-8 (April 0

Trojan 105 plus's in my cart and they test out at 6.38-6.39 today which is the same as new. I'm a trojan believer, but I've never tried anything else either.

I think you should also consider what charger your using. I went to 48 volt and bought 8 new 6volt batteries.....ouch. I also bought a $300 Schauer 15amp charger and frankly, my batteries are not doing so well after just 2.5 years. I am going to now spend $450 to get a Delta-Q 913-4800 onboard charger that has algorithms suited to different batteries including the T-105 batteries I have.

Anyone heard of Centennial batteries?

My best supplier no longer carries Trojans and sells these for $100 each.

Im a true believer in Trojan and have used them for RV batteries for years, but I went with Costco GC batteries to cut costs when I jumped into the cart arena. It may not pay off in the long run, but Im $2K+ into a $150 cart (batteries, controller, motor, rear seat, window, misc. cleaners/polishers, etc.).
