People seem to look down on Sams club batteries but these energizer branded batteries made by Johnson controls are treating me well!

I also have a set of those in my old cart and they work very well for me too.

Just checked mine. 18hrs after a charge they read 52.5 volts. And that's with a DPI charger

So what do the battery experts think?? Is our state of charge chart wrong saying a full charge is 50.93???????

I have some batteries from September of 03 that still give me ~52 at full charge, so i wouldn't be surprised if you batteries are actually holding up that well.

My Trojans are new, charged about 15-20 times and each battery 12 hours after charging reads 8.49 so I would say the chart is accurate. So you could be experiencing different readings because you have an off brand battery from a company that does not have the same quality control? Not saying that what you got is not better though because I would think the higher charge can only be an advantage so you should feel lucky. By the way are you getting equal readings from each battery?

I'll check each battery when I get home

All measured 8.78 except one at 8.77
