Hello all. I am new to the forum and relatively new to golf carts. I bought a 2014 Yamaha G29 electric golf cart to use at our place in Estero , Florida. Retirement community riding and some golf use. The batteries appear to be original Trojans. They charge fully and hold the charge for a long period of time without use ( months). At full charge, they measure about 52V ( its a 48V cart). I installed a battery meter which also shows a very slow degradation of voltage with use. My issue is that top speed is slow via hand held GPS it's only about 8mph. Seems that I should expect closer to 10-11 based on manual and other research I have done. Perhaps even a little higher. I did replace the speed sensor, but no change. pedal response seems normal in that it increases across the range of depression.
Could this still be batteries? I hate to drop a grand on batteries and not get any speed benefit. I'k=ll obviously need them at some point soon, but holding off if they still hold a charge well. Anything else I can do? Really appreciate your help
