The battery was fully charged. I will be living in Sanibel and do not want this to happen again so we will be the proud owners of 2 gas carts when we get to be permanent TV residents. I know the newer electric carts have better range but I do not want that to happen again. Just my own opinion.
You obviously don't understand the difference from a "rental" maintained electric cart and one used by a full time resident. Respect opinions that make sense. Try and get good information before your purchase, and if you are part time you don't want electric.
