suddenly stopped-2001 electric TXT 2+2 w/ PDS,

None if it's used. I REALLY wouldn't recommend buying one new battery, as it will age to the same condition as the rest in your pack in no time.

ok, I hear you. hard to find used batteries but I posted some ads in marketplaces near ft worth, tx

update_ found used battery of same type for 30.00, held charge when I bought it. put it in after cleaning all terminals, put cart on charger, and behold!! it runs fine. My dog is sooo happy to be running again.
thanks all-

And it only cost $30!

Glad to hear you got a running cart again.
Since you are unsure of how batteries were cared for in past. Being 4 years old may want to monitor closely not only with voltage but specific gravity. Great tool for finding bad cell in battery.
Recommend a good refractometer or at least an upgrade from the inexpensive floating ball automotive type hydrometer. Quality hydrometer and volt meter are nesesity for proper battery maint. ��

I personally think a fairly accurate volt meter is all that's needed for most. It doesn't matter which cell is bad when a battery is failing, not like you can just replace one cell in the battery.

update to saga..I was installing a digital Voltage meter, forgot to put cart in maintenance mode. used short jumper wire to key switch, worked great for a brief moment, disconnected to put key switch backin console- then nothing. completely dead. forward and reverse rocker switch dead also.
pulled key switch back out- cant get any connection, no reading w/ jumper switch. wires straight to battery w/o key switch works but not wanting digital on when cart is off. jumpered both wires off key switch but no go.

WHAT could I have done? is there a fuse inline somewhere? stumped.
New key switch? Batteries show good charge. 37.4 for all.

Check the reed switch wire coming off the charger port for pack voltage. + on the red wire and - on pack -
