I need everyone's opinion to help me make a decision. I presently own an 84 Club Car 36 volts, I replaced the batteries 2 years ago, but in the last 2 years we are only able to get to our vacation home maybe once a month and use it a little during that time and charge it before we leave. Recently we weren't able to get there for 3 months and the car just sits without being on charge.
So it looks like I may need to replace the batteries again, so instead of putting more money into an old car, I'm trying to decide what to buy. I want something like a 2009 Club Car Precedent, 4 seater with lights and fold down windshield.
A salesperson told me to stay away from pre 2009 model because those models with their 4-12 volt batteries which had a lot of complaints and problems, and that is why they have gone back to using 6-8 volt batteries, any opinions on that statement?
Are the newer carts equipped with intelligent chargers that will allow someone like myself keep it connected for months at a time or am I going to have the same problem as now?
If I go with a gas model, how old of a cart should I buy?
