Just curious could I use these batteries and still drive the cart? I am sure I won't have a long range but it's better then not being able to drive the cart at all........just saying

There is only one way to find out, it all depends how low they drop when you put a load on them, but it should run. for how long can't be answered until they are in the cart running, when a battery drops as much as they did just sitting for 24 hours. I would say the cart is not going to run far, what cart and drive system are you putting them in?

I have a 1995 club cart DS....and the cart has been sitting for three years because I can't afford to spend $800 on batteries. I know this is not exactly a "good" set of batteries but I thought it would be nice to get the cart running again since it's been so long.......here is my chance.......kinda

You might call a battery distributer and see if they have a newer set that they'll swap you for.

you can also call the distributor for your area and ask them if they have any blemish or B stock.

I just picked up a set of 6 reconditioned batteries with a 2 year warranty for 240 bucks. They are interstates. As it was explained to me they are usually batteries that have been shipped back after sitting at a retail or wholesale distribution point past 6 months. They may be a return but they are all dated less than 1 year old. My 36 volt pack meters out at 39 volts @ full charge.
