Question for electric cart owners....with fully charged but old batteries do you lose top end speed? Our rental house includes an electric cart with old batteries. When traveling on level surface I estimate we probably can not go faster than 15-17 mph. Going up up a slight incline the speed drops dramatically to probably 10-12 mph. Is this typical with fully charged but old batteries? Very embarrassing when you can't keep up with traffic and have to pull over to let others around.
