Battery trouble
Hi y'all, newbie here. Friend of mine said y'all were awesome. I have a EZGO electric cart. Not sure the year. Battery charger shows a full charge, unplug the charger and they are dead within seconds. I'm assuming the batteries are shot. Our local rural king is selling 6V 115min/75 amp excide batteries for $69. This is roughly $200 cheaper than Trojan batteries. Has anyone had any experience with the Excide battery? The cart doesn't get a lot of "hard" use, mostly just around the yard.
Thanks |

Re: Battery trouble
How old are your batteries and what kind? That would be the first thing to check.

Re: Battery trouble
They are probably 4 years old. 95% sure they are due to be replaced.

Re: Battery trouble
Buddy of mine has Rural King batteries in his cart, uses it for cruising around the marina all summer with no issues. Pretty sure they are about 3 years old.

What is the model number? I bought my Exide GC-145 batteries from Rural King in Nov-2012, so they are a bit over 5 years old and still going strong. FWIW: With very little exception, an DPI Accusense charger has been charging or float charging them whenever the cart wasn't out and about. |

Re: Battery trouble
That is the RK battery that's listed above. I can get a 6 pack of T605's for another $60. Opinions?

Re: Battery trouble
4 year old batteries aren’t that old unless they haven’t been maintained. Have you checked the water level and cleaned any corrosion?
Also, what are T605s??? |
