US Battery (where can I buy one)?

[Ed Cooper]

I need to buy a 6 volt golf cart battery made by US Battery. Ive called around but not found a supplier locally. But it's likely I've not called every local supplier. Does anyone know where I can get one?

Did a manufacturer's search and these are the two nearest distributors.
There must be another more easily obtained and compatible battery localy.
Good luck.

I have to ask why must it be a US Battery, why couldn't you use another brand of the same size, same electrical ratings?

[bowlingal]

Try calling Mando's golf carts. They will come to you to install.

Can I do a partial replacement of my flooded batteries?
We do not recommend partial battery replacement of flooded battery banks. The behavior of batteries during discharging and charging varies throughout their lifespan; if all the batteries are the same age, they all will have similar responses.

The danger with replacing only one battery is that the older batteries will tend to require more charge than the newer ones, and since the new batteries are in the same circuit, they will also be overcharged. There is also the chance that the older batteries will be undercharged since the overall voltage response of all the batteries (old and new) will not be a good representation of either group. The charging system might erroneously think that ALL the batteries have reached the desired voltage and may stop the charging of the batteries prematurely.

Frank, who used to be the resident guru on all things Golf Cart on this forum, educated me on this a few years ago.

I called (IIRC) Battery Boys and replaced my bad battery with a good used battery of the same age and specs - worked well!

I ALWAYS tell people who ask questions like this to take your advice. Obviously a lot of people didn’t get the memo.

OP knows they can. Just looking for something to do.

Now don’t be educating the OP. Stick to the question. Instead of letting someone who knows what they are doing, remedy this issue. He knows better from his life experiences and has this covered. I’ll bet he replaces just one bald tire at a time, too.

Two things:
1. Have you checked Battery Boys? (352) 643-1241. As I recall they had US Batteries in stock last time I was there.
2. When I purchased Trojan replacement batteries for my cart, the installed US Battery fill system was no longer compatible. My cart has six 8-volt batteries. It’s still taking up space in my garage, so I’ll give it away rather than throw it away. If you, or anyone is interested, please contact me.

Why does it have to be that brand? Surely all the other golf carts, in TV, don't use that brand, or they would be sold nearby.

Why would anyone want an electric cart? There are plenty of gas carts you can drive without the problems of electrics.

LOL....and then there are those that ask why would anyone want a gas cart with all the problems of seals, gaskets, spark plugs, driving for gas and oh yeah, that darn battery it needs.

They make equipment tells status and state of batteries.

So with right information no reason one bad battery can’t be replaced. So outside chance it would ruin other batteries some people sells batteries wants you to replace them all. Another thing I bet all batteries status and state not same anyway?

Each has the advantages and disadvantages and there problems.

I say person buys what they want, others opinions are well just opinions. I had electric cart, but I wanted gas cart. So I got one and didn’t need anybody’s advice on my choice. To each their own. But don’t try to force opinions on others. They’re big boys and girls that can make up their own minds.

I didn't say one battery in a series couldn't be replaced and I do have a battery "health" tester. I merely related the recommended way of replacing a bad battery. The caveat in that quoted article from Trojan is a long-accepted practice and is often a warning in many battery compartments, regarding replacing only one cell of several. So, I don't "get" your comment. Maybe it's just me. :shrug:

Sorry,


Actually I was agreeing with your comment not Trojan’s naturally they recommend all of them to be replaced.

Here example of many that will evaluate batteries, charging systems. Not that expensive if person has need for one?

Has the OP been back here as I didn’t see any answers for all who asked why does it have to be a US battery. Also I always went with your cart is only as good as your weakest battery. Also I have to ask what is flooding? To me it sounds like the cart went into a pond but I am sure it is something else.

I guess to match others in electric cart beings talking 6 volt battery? Flooding I assume would be lead acid battery flooded with battery acid? But, I’m in dark just like you?

Flooded or "wet cell" batteries are the most commonly used batteries on the market today. Flooded batteries come in the widest variety of shapes and sizes due to their widespread usage in a multitude of industries and applications. Flooded batteries again use lead plates, a sulfuric acid electrolyte, and plate separators but that is where it stops.
