Default Batteries

The main reason Club Car and Trojan parted ways is because of the private label of the black club car name put on the T1275 Trojan battery. This 4 battery system that club car designed for the Precedent was a terrible design for a golf cart especially for places like The Villages. With (278) pounds of plates in a golf cart the battery system would just barely, when new get 35 miles on a full charge. Club car has gone back to (6) - 8 volt batteries design (360) pounds of plates. Trojan warranted many of the black 1275 batteries until they realized the cart design was the problem not the battery. I still believe the Trojan is a very good battery and the company stands behind there products.
