Bad batteries?

[scottyb]

The 6.2v group is only coming up a little above 70% capacity. Since we operate in the top 50% of capacity only, you are working with less than half of a good battery there.

But, voltage alone is not a complete battery profile.

It is possible the other 6.4 three are good but again standing voltage is a limited view of a battery's health.


It's possible replacing the low 3 with good used batts could get you up and running.

ok cool, i went for a short ride around the block and up a hill. I had a full charge and when i got back it was half way on the gauge, i couldnt go a fill mile with it.

sucks i just traded this cart too.

Right now check and post the voltage for each battery, give them all a # 1-6

One bad battery can kick the bunch in the pants.

Oh, you already started recharging? Okay ... Even on charging carts you can find the weak ones. I just checked my wife's cart. Been charging all day and I thought it should have finished by now... all batts 7.4 except one 7.2 ... that sukka is keeping the charger from shutting off. It will be the next to get replaced... in this old pack.
