Who Makes Current Club Car Batteries

[txpres]

My new 2014 Prescedent came with 6 8v batteries with "PD Plus +" or "PN Plus +" on the top. Could not find any other identification on the battery.

Anyone know who makes these batteries?

I don't know, can you post a photo of batteries?

The new Club Car batteries, PD Plus, are made by Johnson Controls. They are expensive if you buy from Club Car but they seem like good batteries. I had 5 replaced under warranty on my 2010 Precedent. I purchased the 6th so I would have a complete new set. Previous batteries supplied by Club Car were Crown.

Thanks for the information. Good to know.
They come with a 4 yr warranty from Club Car. Sure hope I don't have to have any replaced under the warranty! In the 18 years previously that I had my old 96 Club Car, I never got less than 5 years out of my Trojans. Never had any fail earlier.

If you have had 5 replaced under warranty, I don't think they are worth a crap.

you can take the best battery in the world and don't take proper care of it and it will die in a 4 yr warranty

I didn't make myself clear. The Crown batteries were replaced under warranty after 3 1/2 years with then new PD Plus batteries made by Johnson Controls. The Crown's were properly cared for, they just didn't last. I checked water levels at least once per week and I never let them get low. I always charged fully after each use. So far PD Plus' work great.
