2005 Precedent advice

[dirtysouth]

Precident batteries are good for 3 yrs... '07 batts are getting old already... They are pricey. The cart does sound like a good deal, especially with the rear seat... Not tryin ta bring ya down, ya just need ta know that these batteries won't last as long as the 6 or 8 volts...

YUP!! $540 later, I say I have to agree, and I hear that was a good price.

According to Trojan Tech Support 6 8 volt batteries have more to draw on then 4 12 volt batteries and will last longer in most cases... but... if you follow their rules of only discharging the pack down to 50% or 48.41 volts then fully recharge them you should receive 5 or more years of use. If those carts came from a golf course then I'm sure that rule was NOT adhered to. But in my case I started with brand new T-1275’s and do adhere to the 50% rule so only time will tell. Tic-Toc

I feel that the ds is larger, and it rides a little bit better. Dont get me wrong, the Precedent is a great cart, my friend has the Champions edition, but I really dont think its better than the ds iq, by looks, maybe, but by feel and space, no

Precedent and DS are both jam up carts... The '05 was kinda a ******* child... They got it together in '06... Latest I hear, the Precedent and DS are goin' to the 8 volts...

I believe the 2004 was the ***** child, then 2005 and up were OK.

The new Precedents are all 6 8 volt batteries... so now ya tell me... LOL

By the way what is the aproximate difference in price between a single 12 volt T-1275 and a good Trojan 8 volt? Just want to do the math thing...

4 x ? = xxx and 6 x ? = xxx

Take a look under the rear seat, If its the same fleet somebody was trying to sell me they were all smashed in the rear. 05 carts 07 batts and 09 seats.

Somebody told me that the 12 volt trojans cost at least $200, idk if he knew what he was saying, but he has an 04 precedent.

Thanks everyone for the advice. Picked out my car this weekend, 2005 Precedent with F7 Trojan batteries, has the the factory style light, rear seat, windshield and graphics. Total price with tax $2400. Cart came from P.B Dye course in Maryland.
