Battery Dilemma.

[Getter-Done]

I just bought a 1995 Ezgo. 36 volt system.
I has two Trojan T-105 battery's (6volt)
225 AH@20 hrs./185AH@5 hrs.
and four Rural King GC115G battery's
186AH@20hrs.

I noticed this when I bought it and thought,
I will just buy two more battery's.

1st question: Would you run it like this?
2nd question: Would you buy two new Rural Kings?

If your 4 rural kings are 2020 year, I'd probably get 2 more matching ones and just ride it out. As you can tell by tha AH ratings, they are low rate batteries. Dont get the idea in your head "if I put 2 larger capacity ones in there, itll make up for that", it's quite the opposite, adding mismatched capacity batteries will help kill them all, due to charging & discharging at different rates.

How old are the Trojans? (Date code stamped into lead terminal)

Thank cgtechs

I can get two more battery's from the same store that the other four was purchased from.
I learned something today.
I looked up how to read that code.
The code for the two Trojans is K2 (November 2012) right?

Month Code Represents (Month) Year Code Represents (Year)
A January 0 2010 or 2020
B February 1 2011
C March 2 2012
D April 3 2013
E May 4 2014
F June 5 2015
G July 6 2016
H August 7 2017
I September 8 2018
J October 9 2019
K November
L December

Get rid of those Rural Kings ASAP!!! they kill controllers all the darned time. Low voltage = resistance = heat which kills anything solid-state. Rural Kings are not rated to work under the load a golf car needs. Reduced run times, and low voltages kill.

Gosh I hate Rural King so much and hope they join Ames, Kmart, and Sears soon.
