2013 Club Car
New guy here from Northern Va. area.
I have. 2013 Club Car precedent. Came from a large fleet. I've had it about 4 months. When I first purchased it would run for 30-45 minutes before the battery light came on. Now even after it's charged if it sets for a couple days the light will come on when the switch is first turned on and the cart won't move until the pedal is pressed, let off of and then pressed again. The battery light will illuminate during operation specifically when coming to a stop. Original batteries are in it and I have filled with water. My question is this a battery replacement issue or could it be anything else? Thanks. |

Re: 2013 Club Car
Yea
Slow loss of run time & speed Sounds like a battery issue |

Re: 2013 Club Car
Off hand I'd say that a 4 year old fleet cart surely would be in need of batteries; most fleet jobs are lucky to last 3 years... If you want to own an electric cart you really want to get yourself an inexpensive digital multimeter as that it the first tool you're going to need. Fully charge your batteries and unplug the charger, allow the batteries to rest 12 to 24 hours and take a DC voltage reading of each one and compare with this chart, and a fully charged pack can read upwards of 51 volts. Pending the outcome you may also want to get some under load voltage readings too...

Re: 2013 Club Car
HVe a multimeter. Typical reading after 12hrs is 8.07 to 8.25 each. Thought after a shot rind today one read as low as 7.82. Just wanted to confirm it was a battery issue. Any suggestions on reasonable priced battery replacement?

If you can afford them, go with the Trojan 160's....

Re: 2013 Club Car
I ended up going with the T875's. That's all the budget would allow. Down side is the Trojans don't fit my factory watering system. Any tips on old fashion pull the tops off and water? Thanks.

Re: 2013 Club Car
Teecro idea is a good one, but with me been a mechanic for many years I have a old school battery water bottle which most auto part store still carry. Those auto watering systems have been known to mess up, they can get clogged.
