I have a 2002 Western (EzGo) 42 volt cart which I have owned for about a year.
It runs 22mph on a full charge.
It has Trojan batteries that are less than two years old and have been very well cared
for since I go the cart.
When I got the cart I could drive it to the course (3 miles), play 18 holes of golf, return home for lunch and go back to the course (6 miles), Play an additional 18 holes of golf and still drive home with the battery indicator registering (usually) one bar below half.
Now, I drive to the same course, play 18 hones and return home to have the indicator blinking rapidly on the last bar.
The specific gravity of the batteries at full charge is 1.22 to 1.24 for all cells of all seven batteries.
Individually load tested, the batteries all checked good.
Have any of you had a similar problem?
Any thoughts as to what might be the most likely culprit or culprits?
