The expensive one will be Golf Kart. Six 8 volt batteries.
Good Morning All.
When I was at my brother's house earlier this week, he said his golf cart would not go even after a charge cycle. I checked the batteries and they were all 12.3 v except for one that read 9.5. I know they should all be replaced at once, but since this is a 48 volt cart with four 12 volt batteries, I may just put in a deep cycle battery I have and let it go for awhile. The cheapest I've found on a set of 4 Trojan T-1275 batteries is around $760 after exchange. I don't need that extra expense at Christmas. I used a little jumper battery to get the cart going so I could put it into his barn. I think I'll charge up my deep cycle and try that during the holidays. If I can get him going for awhile, we'll see how that works out.
Got 0.14 inch of welcome rain yesterday. None is in the forecast for the next week. Temperatures are supposed to be in the mid-upper 60s with a jump up to 71 F on Wednesday. It'll be a good week for Christmas prep. My grandson gets out of school for the holidays on next Tues at noon. I'll have to come up with something to keep him engaged. I have several projects he can help me with.
