What does the pack read when you try to go?

Great news. Picked up 6 new Trojan t 105 for $600 at a local golf cart store. Installed them and all is good to go.

thanks for all the help everyone. Now we can enjoy the cart at Fort Wildnerness

Will do. Is it okay to ride around and when get back to camper stick the charger on it but get back on cart and ride in 15 minutes or so before it fully charges back up or is best to always charge to 100% whenever you charge. Tks

You don't want to discharge new batteries too deeply for the first dozen or two charge cycles, I suspect the cart will be used a lot at the park and opportunity charging will keep the average SoC up to a higher level than it would be otherwise, so do it.

The bulk of the charge occurs within the first hour or so, and the fact that lead-acid batteries have no voltage memory issues, applies to charging as well as discharging.

Basically, A quickie is better than none at all.
