Weird Battery Issue Or Something Else?

3beans · 10-20-2010, 12:53 PM

Hello,

I have a 2000 TXT PDS that I recently re-batteried with Trojans. The thing ran great until recently. I could ride all over the neighborhood and come back and plug it in and it might charge for 8 or 12 hours. Ran great!
Then,
I noticed it didn't supply as much power to get up the hill on our street. When this happened, and still does happen, I come home and plug it in and after 3 minutes of use the charger kicks in like it has not been charged for days. The charger charges like 24 hours just after going up the hill and back.
Does this sound like a bad connection, bad battery (all new) or something else? I don't know much about golf carts and maybe even less about batteries so you see my problem!

Thanks so much in advance,
Mark

Yes it sounds like a bad battery or a bad connection.
