It will have no effect on your new battery purchase as you will still get the same money for your cores from the battery dealer. I will do all the heavy lifting.

As I type this I wonder if any of the folks out here that work in the battery business deal with used batteries? If the answer is yes, I will follow up with specifics. I could even follow your battery installer around and check batteries as they take them away .

Odds are one in a whole bunch that this can happen, but I can think of no other site where I can reach out to so many cart owners and battery folks that are local.

Thanks

PS. For our battery sponsor(s) out here, I will be buying a new set in the fall, just trying to get through the month.
AJ,

As an alternative, have you considered calling one of the battery sponsors and explain that you are here only for a few weeks until the fall? They may have one you could borrow if you committed to a new set when you return.
