I free exchange for a used 6v with the other 5 at end of life isn't a bad idea. Might get you another year. Definitely not worth getting 1 new one in with the old. It will be wrecked in short order.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div id="composer_signature"><div style="font-size:88%;color:#364f67" dir="auto">Sent from my Verizon 4G LTE smartphone</div></div><br><br>-------- Original message --------<br>From: A-M <amcool@gbta.net> <br>Date: 5/25/17 11:58 PM (GMT-05:00) <br>To: et <Elec-trak@cosmos.phy.tufts.edu> <br>Subject: (ET) 8v battery in the mix? <br><br>My pack is probably 7-10 years old, and still does all I need it to--or did until I found one battery open circuit this spring.<br><br>As I understand it, putting one new battery in with the other 5 does no favors to the new guy.<br><br>My local golf cart dealer will basically exchange a 'decent' old trade-in battery --when he gets one--for my dead one.
