Sunsets are one thing....
..... but a set of one year old Trojan batteries after first their annual cleaning is simply breathtaking .....
OK, I admin it, I may be just a bit bored waiting for my tee time..., but consider this a public service to remind folks to maintain their battery pack. |

Two votes for batteries. One vote for sunsets.

Let's hope it's not like they say at the race track.... "IT'S POST TIME!"

A list makes it seem so formal. Do not be fooled....
Not sure you are asking me for my whole procedure or not, but here it is just in case. I follow the general guideline at: http://www.trojanbattery.com/Battery.../Cleaning.aspx
Notes:
I have switched from baking soda to a battery cleaner/acid neutralizer. IMO, it is much easier to work with and clean up. In this case I used Noco Battery Cleaner and Acid Detector. You spray in on and it foams up yellow, turning purple if any acid is detected. Wal-Mart has cans for less than $3 - $5. My procedure looks like this:
When you write it down it seems like alot of work, but it is not so bad.... Last edited by ajbrown; 03-09-2011 at 05:36 AM. |

A seat? Only so many hours in a day and I had a tee time. Nothing a small piece of plywood will not solve. I would recommend removing all jewelry and wallet chains

They look GREAT, but after reading this I think a Gas Cart will be what I get next year when we move to The Villages. 14 Months and counting

Get whatever kind of cart meets your needs, but do not give up on electric because of me. I always make stuff sound harder than it is. So you kill an hour shining batteries while soaking up some sun and chatting about carts with neighbors, how can that be bad

8 volt versus 6 volt
I did a test a year ago when I had first rebuilt the cart with two sets of batteries (both in good shape). I took a set of 6-8 volt TrojanT890 (T890 has highest AH rating for 8V) batteries and ran the pack down 50% in about 35 miles.
I then replaced with a set in the same cart with 8-6 volt T105s. This time it took over 50 miles to run the pack to 50%. I do not run my pack to less than 50%, so that is why I stopped there. In both cases the cart was running as fast as it was in the first 5 miles. My gut feel is I could have pushed another 20%++ mileage out of each. That was a perfect comparison of 8 versus 6 volt packs in same cart. |
