Hi Chipper - It's common for older batteries to not show as much voltage as they once did as they age. It's a sure sign that you will be in the market for batteries this year. Coupled with lower finish voltage you will see decreased runtime. Now might be a good time to take advantage of the low battery prices these guys are posting. |

Re: Craigslist Battery Pricing
Thanks for the feedback guys. One more thing... ... What about shelf life? Do I need to worry about how long they've been sitting on the dealer's shelf?
Sorry if these questions seem elementary but I'm relatively new to these things. |

Re: Craigslist Battery Pricing
I would be wary at that price ! , there was at one time black box Trojans T105 s if that is the case I would stay away from them , Scotty could chime in he knows what I'm referring to , it's just the price is so low ( something fishy )
You certainly do not want to no what I paid for my Cr260 pack , but it was top notch and money well spent |

Re: Craigslist Battery Pricing
That is my concern. As I said, I'm new at this golf cart stuff and wanted to make sure I know what I'm looking at. Can you expand on the "black box" Trojans? What I run into in Alabama is being quoted $100 plus for Trojans then "but I sell brand X for $85 and they are just as good". That always makes me wary.

Re: Craigslist Battery Pricing
A dealer in Vincent, Al has the T-105 batteries for $99 each. A neighbor just bought some on Monday and they work just fine.

Re: Craigslist Battery Pricing
Probably been on the shelf a while.
I got a set of black box Trojans,Pacers,in November of 2005 for about $450 for the 91 ez-go and I took them out in December of 2013.Range had gotten low and my dad is almost 80. So I wanted it back right for him to use. I will slide them into a E-10 GE Electrac for demo at a couple shows this year.Would'nt be able to mow long but will work for demonstration. |

The important thing when shopping for golf cart batteries is the Ah rating so you can compare "apples to apples". Trojan T105 is 225Ah at 20 amps. To shop price with other brands you have to compare models with the same Ah rating. Dealers often offer a premium model and a cheaper model. The cheaper model is often a lessor brand but almost always a battery with less Ah capacity. Generally not a good deal as they will give less range per charge and a shorter service life. The chart below (courtesy of johnnieB) compares various 6v batteries. |
