We have a 1998 electric Club Car. Have we ever run out of charge? Yes we have.. not often but yes it has happened and my explanation is this. When batteries get to being 3 yrs old and they are not taking a charge in the same capacity as they did when they were new there is reason to be cautious. The couple of times that we have run out of charge happen to be due to batteries that were around 3 plus yrs old and we played golf at a course a good distance from home, headed to Sumter Landing and stayed there longer than originally planned and therefore had to use headlights driving home which took just a little more juice than what our batteries had left in them. When batteries are new or fairly new I don't worry about running out of power.
