Too big to install and drive around with.

It would take a generator the size of a large welder to keep up.

Oh, Guess it would be cheaper to buy new batterys. Looking for something cheep.Have found some needing batterys.What is a good price for batterys?

gornoman · 08-20-2009, 05:46 PM

$70 and up.

fordnutjm · 08-20-2009, 07:39 PM

Ok,thas.I'll keep that in mind when pricing them.

just a thought, 70 could be a little under priced if looking for Trojan, it all depends where you live and what battery you want for your cart, when Gman said 70 and up he probably referred to between 70~120... jus sayin!

OK, Thanks.

go to trojanbattery.com and find dealers near you, then call them. Many others use USBattery, Exide, Crown, Napa, etc, but there are many reviews on how and why Trojan still the best on this.

Yes, I was refering to batteries OTHER than Trojan. I believe the word CHEEP was used above, LOL! Last time I priced Trojan T105's I was quoted $115 each. I bought Energizers from Sam's Club instead.
