It seemed to move a little if I put my foot down on the accelerator just a bit, but if I pushed down all the way, I heard a clicking sound and it didn't move at all. I walked home and my husband came down and was able to "crawl" it home by just pushing lightly on the accelerator.

So, we have it towed to Cart World and after a short while they call back and tell us our batteries are over 5 years old and it will be $800+ to replace them. ???? OK, it is true that they are about 5 years old. It is also true that we hardly ever use this cart as we have 2 cars, but my husband takes meticulous care of the batteries, water, etc.

My question to you experts out there is: Do you really think the entire problem is due to the older batteries? My thought is to bring it back home and get a second opinion. I'm looking for recommendations for a good cart mechanic.

Thanks!

People who are getting rid of their electric carts and buying gas ones, because the 3rd set of $800 batteries they cared for religiously lasted less than 2 years, know the answer to this.
