Default Re: EZGO Battery Terminal Problems

Trojan is considered the "Gold Standard" for golf cart batteries, but with the other five at only a year and a half old, I would just replace the one. Should be for to go for several years yet.
As scottyb already mentioned, be careful about over tightening the terminals. Particularly after your recent experience I can see where you might think "tighter is better", but resist that urge. Lead is such a soft metal that it's easy to start twisting the threaded stud (usually a steel bolt) till you break it loose in the lead of the terminal. That loose connection is what will do you in.
