08 Precedent, original 12V batteries, 1/2 are bad
Have a 2008 Precedent, and I like the cart a lot, but the original Trojan 12V batteries are strange. Two of them test out at about 70% charged and the other two basically have 4 or more dead cells each. I still get around great for errands but that darn yellow warning light keeps comes on sporadically and then goes off and I am afraid to try 18 holes with it. I was told that charging the two bad batteries for 5 days at 2 amps might bring them back a little and it did but only to about 25% of capacity. I'd like to just replace the two weak batteries with batteries equally as strong as the better ones. What do you all think? I read some Club Car stuff that said these carts would go 65 miles when new with new batteries. Is that true? Thanks in advance.

Your cart may have the bucket provision already installed to install (6) 8v batteries instead of (4) 12v batteries. |

if you replace only 2 of them the older 2 will drag the newer ones down way before their time..............................

You might want to try to find couple used batteries from a cart dealer that are still good if you are wanting to put off buying a whole new set.
