6 volts battery problem solved, got 6 batteries with 80% to 90 % life left

Got All 6 batteries for $125.00, right place right time

I looked at my old connection cables they were 2 ga, 4 ga & 6 ga and who knows what was going on inside

I'm looking at a complete set of Seven 4 gauge copper replacement cables

Just have to remove & clean everything & start fresh

you got a good deal....were they trojans? i sold mine to a guy and they are working fine....guess there are deals out there if you have patience...

my next project is to put a volt meter in the dash to monitor the total voltage...

just took my cart and dog for a 2 mile run....

good luck,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Four were Werker & 2 had a white cases, brand labels were off, they all look new

none were Trojans, i have 5 old Trojans and a newer black cased battery

still haven't switched them

if you have old trojans that hold a charge, you might put them on craigslist and sell them....i sold my 6 old ones for $100......five were good...the other one wasn't trojan and was bad.... you can try to rejuvenate them with a mixture of epsom salts and distilled water.....put about a half cup salts to a quart of distilled water and put in one battery after you empty the battery..it
is supposed to clean the lead plates....i paid money on ebay for that information....i used it on my old batteries and do believe it helped the trojans

just bought brown naugahyde to reupholster my cart....don't have a pattern yet....probably will have someone do it for me....

good luck
