2004 Precedent with new batteries going slow
I have 2004 Precedent. Last summer local CC dealer/service replaced motor as last one burnt out. Since replacing it I couldnt get more than 16 holes (previously getting 2+ rounds). The local CC said I needed new batteries. I did that and got 18 holes+. However slowly but surely i have gotten less holes in and the car goes very slow up hill particularly on the 2nd 9. The battery light comes on from the 5th or 6th hole. I find if I unplug the charger and plug it back in (so it kicks on again) on the morning I am playing - it improves the situation that I can get 18 holes. But its still slow on hills. Batteries are US XC12V. Any help greatly appreciated.

Re: 2004 Precedent with new batteries going slow
Test all batteries 12 hours after charging for voltage and SG readings and post here . . . "new" batteries do not necessarily mean "good" batteries . . .

Re: 2004 Precedent with new batteries going slow
When they replaced motor, did they put in a new one or used ? You may have a motor issue if it was used..
