That all depends on your charger. I use the Delta Q charger, for over 3 years now. I have a set of Trojans 875. They get distilled water maybe once a year.
As needed

I also have a 48-volt & a 96 -volt pack of Odyssey Batteries that are a sealed battery. These batteries are 2 years old. Now this battery can be push to a charge of 13.7 to 13.5. And not one battery has fall below 13.5.
The Delta Q won’t push them to13.5 but I do credit the Delta Q for maintaining
them for the past two years.

But you should check the water level ever 2-4 charges. Until you learn your charger. Never use anything BUT distilled water. Never run your pack completely down. And never run your pack low with out charging ASAP. Leaving a battery pack in Less than a 50% charge for any length of time will bring damage to the pack.

Thanks I have a power drive charger by club car is thAt a good charger. There was not nothing wrong with my Trojan 875 I just needed the little more run time. How much more run do u think I will get out of the 890 thanks in advance

And make sure when charging you leave them on the charger until the charger tunes off
this can be 10-12 hours depending how low the pack is , Worst case is 16 Hours.
Good Luck

Thanks gmorrison what do u think about my situation I am in Do I need to take them back and get fresher batteries or just the weaker one Thanks in advance and how much more run time do you think I will get

I think if you run the cart for 30 minutes , 10-12 times, then you charge the complete pack until charger shuts place.
Wait 30 minutes after charging then check this Battery against another one .
I think the battery will start to come back.

If not load it up with a good one so you can show the sales person what your talking about (take your tester with You) and get a new one which matches closely in Voltage to your others

As for runtime I would think it will help some not sure how much though, the fact that the NEW Batteries get a little stronger
with each charge also Helps !

Good luck
