Ours were five years old, and I had made the mistake of unplugging the cart completely when we went back up north. The batteries 'died' completely to the point that the charger would not even register that they were there. A technician at Ken Spano's Golf Cart Service (whom I had called for a price on a new set) walked me step by step through how to 'revive' the old ones, and it actually worked! However, at that point we just didn't have the confidence in them and so decided to replace them. Got the best price we could find from Spano, and the tech came here, did all the work, replaced everything that had to do with the batteries (included in the price of the batteries), checked tire pressure and lights, and hauled away the old batteries with a 'Thank you for your business, sir!' What a pleasure!
