i then purchased a gas cart.

Trojan has been having problems for quite some time
The problem is that, as far as I know, Powertron doesn't make a battery that is the equivalent of the Ranger. My only option with them would be to go to eight sixes which would require modifications to the cart. I got the Rangers to avoid that.

I've had Trojans that lasted four years. I honestly think that there is a problem with the Ranger battery and Trojan won't admit it.

The tech that installed my batteries and also installed the new one after it went daed, didn't say as much but hinted that that was the case.
