How far or how long?

update...

Changed out just one battery...MAN! I couldnt believe the difference one battery makes.Ran like a new cart...hauled azz.Tried to find another "weak" battery so I could justify installing the other new one.All the others stayed in the GREEN during a 12 sec load test...then went back to 6.3-6.4.No real need to change any more.I'll just keep it on the shelf for later.

Have one battery installed...according to the sticker"...5/2010.The rest 8/10.I WILL keep my good eye on it!

Understanding there is a serious cost difference, you may wish you had replaced all 6 batteries. Actually, you still can as the new one hasn't had time to be effected yet.
It's like replacing one battery in a muti-cell flashlight. The flashlight will work and be brighter. For a while. But the remaining batteries will pull form or overwork the good battery, reducing it to their level.

You're right ofcourse...but fact is these other batterys test out good.Load test readings 6.3-4...loaded pull down to 6.2 after 10 sec load...then go back to 6.3-4.See no reason to scramble to replace them right now.

Understand I'm still "learning" on the sparkies...I'm a gaser by nature.

I always seem to have a need to learn everything the hard way...
