Hmmmm!
Guess I'm the only one . . . and with two different fleets, one E Z Go and one Club Car.
Go figure.
In the E Z Go fleet (60 carts) I worked with, with a 2008 autofill system that was not a Flow-Rite, E Z Go wound up replacing 117 batteries before they finally agreed to just re-do the lease early, with 2012's. The previous system was fraught with problems from the git-go, and when I took it over at 6 months old, and pulled autofills for a visual inspection, there were numerous dry cells.
After stonewalling it, E Z Go finally replaced the valves (floats) with shorter shafts. It then went from underfills, with dry cells, to overfills from not shutting off.
The 2012s came with Flow-Rites, and at the first sign of not working right, E Z Go replaced each defective system without hesitation or questioning.
I'm dealing with the same problem with a fleet of Florida Club Cars now. |
I hear ya, They over fill, leak, don't fill, if I had a cart I wouldn't put one on. I can fill the batteries and do a better job without one. However, they do have there place, but as I tell my customers, if you are able bodied to check the level, do it the old fashion way. I took one off a cart today as it ruined 2 of the guys batteries due to not filling the cells.
