All new batteries and they want last nine holes

What type of batteries did you get?
Fully charged battery pack you should have 38-40 volts. At 36 volts batteries need charging.

They are napa batteries. I think the problem is fixed because they ran great when I went and played. I was only able to play 12 holes the true test will come tomorrow when I play 18 or more.

Okay ....... apparrently we are working without a voltmeter here so we use the golfgauge and analize the state of charge not by volts but by the number holes golfed?

Good luck, now.

Get a meter, you are dead in the water without one.

The battery golf meter .......
7 holes and it starts raining = batteries great
9 holes and the wife called = batteries good enough for tomorrow too
18 holes, a trip to the clubhouse bar and home again = batteries never better
36 holes, wife gone to mother's. Buddies coming for BBQ later and golf cart races = dead cart , defective batteries

Why spend $20 on a meter? It's all right here!

lol... now all this depends on the players ability. if he struggles hitting it left and right then it is possible that the batteries are getting a considerable amount of extra use. because of this... the players handicap must be mentioned in order for "The Battery Golf Meter" to be accurate. lol. sorry i couldn't help it.

to the OP, sounds like you have fixed your problem... glad to hear. Golf FTMFW. Happy Golfing!

Geez scotty balls. You miss out on both counts!

After careful reconsideration I believe you may qualify.

When I replaced the batteries in my old cushman golfster I was able to run it for 36 holes of golf with no problems and a few times have gotten up to 45 to 54 holes and thats saying quite a bit being that its a 3 wheel cart and weighs a ton. :-)
