What a shame here really ... if or when these batteries come back up they will be seriously compromised in their ability to hold a charge (resulting in diminished run times)and their general useful life span..... I hope a few people read this and realize how important it is to keep your batteries charged up even when not in use... Are you snowbirds listening

woo hoo!!! she's ginning. I had to charge each one manually for 30 minutes each.

CONGRATS, Hey Scottyb, shouldn't he check his water levels and maybe leave the caps cracked to vent.

[scottyb]

I assume he checked his water levels A FEW MONTHS AGO!!! And yeah leaving a cap off wouldn't hurt but not critical.... hopefully we are not getting them hot enough to blow

Yea, I had already checked the water levels. As far as not knowing about leaving the batteries, I asked the guy when I baught them if there was anything I needed to do to help the life of the batteries, and he said no, not really. I am new to the golf cart thing, but I know from experience that an uncharged battery is not good. I just didn't know how to keep them all charged since the computer was broke. The batteries are a lot weaker for sure. So looks like a new set is next on the agenda. Thanks for your input and helpfulness with my problem. I didn't realize I was going to take a bashing for it though. Thanks anyway.
