I acquired a used 2020 Yamaha Quietec gas golf cart and the owner mention he keeps it on a trickle charger when not using. I believe (hopefully) this was code word for bad battery. It has a Striker monitor that shows speed and also voltage.

When I press on the gas there can be a noticeable lag between the engine starting and voltage will drop to 7 or 8v. I am thinking this is a bad battery and considering it's 5 years old, would not be surprising.

I thought I would just take out the battery and get it tested. However, there is a barrier that would need to be removed (or side panel) with fuses attached. Thinking I may just pay extra and have a repair guy replace it. I also want assurance that it is most likely the battery.

We just moved to the TV so not sure the best way to go about this. Does it make sense to take it to the Villages Cart shop, call mobile repair?

Suggestions are really appreciated.
