John,
The best indication of the quality of a battery is "will it do the job
intended for it" Looks like in your case new batteries are in your future.
I
just got six new Trojan T105 for $64.00ea at an official Trojan dealer here
in Bloomington In. The Interstates were $65.00 and the no name/any name
Batteries are $50.00 that I only got 3 years of service out of. Spend the
extra 14 bucks. I have tried Interstate and Sam's club batteries and have
had the best luck with Trojan. http://www.trojanbattery.com/ has lots of
info.
If you are in money pinch (the wife wants to know why you are spending all
this money on batteries) find a golf cart place and see if they will sell
or
trade you some halfway good batteries.
Good Luck.

A battery lesson please! I have a new to me I-5. I know the batteries came
used from golf cars. The batteries test with a SG of 2.2. But I find
they
have little power. If I put any draw on the motor (D1 or 2) The "fuel"
gage
goes into the red and I get very low speed. Am I looking at new batteries
here or should I trouble shoot something else. Is the Specific gravity
measurement a good indication of how strong the batteries are?
Thanks
