US Battery (where can I buy one)?
 
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?

Do internet search…….

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?

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

Battery Plus in Lady Lake has helped me in locating difficult batteries to find.

There are other considerations:
 
From Trojan's website:
Trojan Battery | Battery Maintenance

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.
