That's a very important part of getting your money's worth out of your expensive batteries.

I’m sorry, my cart actually has 24” tires.

That news to me. Thanks for the info. I checked each individual battery this evening with a multimeter and they all avg 8.8 volts after it charged all night. I also checked each battery as I rode the cart and they all avg 7.8 under a load. Is this normal for an 8 volt battery?
