Takes all guess work out of it and tell you condition of battery and if still good or bad.

Here one example

Batteries in Yamaha golf cart rarely last over 4 or 5 years. You can usually tell when losing amps, will be slower cranking and lights will be dimmer when trun key on most of them, but don’t take much to light led but can definitely tell difference when cranks.


Amazon.com

Side note: gas golf cart require very little CAs compared to vehicle, so battery will still work even though analyzer says it bad. Based on battery CAs remaining when compared when it was new. But, it going bad and in heat down here close to going kaput. Now that could be 1 month or year or more depending on how much cells degrade?
