One Bad Battery
I have checked my batteries with a volt meter after 1 hour of being charged, and found that 3 batteries read 14.2 volts and one reads 13.1 volts. Just bought the cart (2008 Club Car) and was told that the batteries are 2 1/2 to 3 years old. Can you replace just the one battery??

Re: One Bad Battery
What Kind of Battery is it? Does it have a date code? usually a letter and a number. What is it at after a full charge, Load test and do a hydrometer test. I usually dont recommend just one battery. But it can be done.

Re: One Bad Battery
3 yr old 12v batteries are on their last year. It is not recommended to buy 1 as it will degrade quickly in the old pack... it is best to replace all of them

Re: One Bad Battery
Don't mean to steal this thread.....but, Scotty B, please explain "3 year old 12V batteries are on their last year." I have '08 T 1275 Trojans that will finally need to be replaced this year. They have served me well!

Re: One Bad Battery
Please post the date codes, 1 number and one letter, and the voltage readings after the full charge cycle is completed.
Then we can better help you with your replacement decision. Aflyer |

Re: One Bad Battery
I hit up everyone I could find on craigslist and online searches that sold golf cart batteries. I asked if they had a decent used one that I could buy. I found one for $40. I am sure I'm not back to 100% but I can drive it until by butt is sore and appear to have full power. I kicked the can down the road a little bit on buying new batteries.
