Hi, have been looking at the battery issue. I understand that going to the Gel units requires some major wiring changes. A big gain in the weight reduction of the battery pack. luckily, the Ez Go that we have had for about 2 years is flawless, an absolute jewel.
So quiet, so reliable no fumes no chug chug stuff. The cart people on 466 just east of Morse are very helpful and good for stopping and getting some tips. Sorry the shop by Bonefish went under, a rumor is that local shops went to the powers to do them in. They were really great and reasonable and helpful, over 100% great.

Yes. AJ. The charger jumps when charging and it seems to shut off after a while. I am afraid to drive it too far as I feel i will not make it back. I have called a golf cart guy who Dee (Redwitch) highly recommends. Waiting for him to return my call. Afterwards Iwill check speed. A month ago the cart wnt 24 mph. I have a feeling it is going closer to 18 mph now.
I will keep,you posted. Thanks for your two mesages. tommy

Hello A.J.

The word around The Villages is "You are the man". Someone familiar with electric golf carts.

This is the scenario

Replaced 6 new batteries two years ago.
Snowbird six months a year
Always ran good until the past week
I charged it and when taken by out for a spin, the neede buries itself in the red zone meter. Until recently, the needle only flirted with the red zone when climbing up a step hill

Now the neede drops when I accelerate...even on fat ground.

I am charging the cart as we speak using Dan Azzariti's (NadicDan's)charger, in the event the charger could be faulty.

I tried different electrical outlets as well

If Dan's charger doesn't correct the problem...what do I look for next. Could it be a bad cell in one of the batteries? Or could it be something more critical?

Thanks, Tom Hannon. PS i am seldom on TOTV anymore because of all the negativity. It isn't like the old day when it was enjoyable and learning experience for everyone .

What a great series of pictures of the tunnel. They are so interesting and informative. I loved the captions and the dog's participation in the photo shoot. I have a big black Lab (a registered therapy dog) and we are in the process of moving to TV. We just bought a home in Mission Hills at the beginning of November and are back in Maine to sell our home. The movers are scheduled for December 18th.

Thanks ajbrown.....We ended up going with Battery Boys and 6-8's, wish we had your abilities to convert to 8-6's...thanks again

I know you are the guy to ask regarding batteries....We have a yesteryear cart and would like to get GEL Batteries because they require no maintenance....What are your thoughts on Gel as opposed to regular batteries

Hello sir..I was just searching and saw the article you had wrote about the kid that had stole all those clubs..I had the same thing happen what happened to him? and what did the sheriffs tell you?

Hello AJ,

Sorry about the Red Sox, and this is from a fool Cubs fan of 50+ years.

Our marketing guy was snooping the web and found your kind words on the charger company guy who helped you with your 10 year-old charger, which you found somewhat remarkable. That earned me an "attaboy" and the cherished parking slot next to the front door for one year, thank you sir.

On your new battery article the Carts Unlimited answer (with exception of "you'll notice a difference around a certain cycle") was the correct one. Thank you again and take care.
