The two batteries that are used are typically run lower then the rest in the bank of batteries and therefore run behind in the charging process and after years use can cause an inadequate charge to all six batteries.

On all our remands that we build we always use a correctly installed voltage reducer to avoid the type of problem you are having. These days most good cart MFG's include them as a norm.
Frank: My brain's exploding as I am not mechanically inclined> I purchased new a 2006 Club Car Precedent. Did my cart include the volt reducer? Batteries have been mentioned I had a terrible time with Trojans and after two lousy sets switched to Powertran. In your view what batteries would you chose for your golf cart?
