"I am beginning to think the battery companies send

So there's another good reason not to live in
Michigan. Sure am glad I only lived there long enough to get thru 4
1/2 years of college at General Motors Institute back in the
60's. Four years in Indiana after Michigan wasn't much better, but
the first 18 spent in central Illinois wasn't all the bad cuz I was a kid and
kids don't really care about nuttin'.
The last 33+ down here in KY have been good and I
don't think I'll ever go back north of the Ohio
River again, at least to live anywhere up there. Besides that, my local
Country Club golf course has plenty of electric carts and used batteries.
And it was down here in Glasgow in 1973 that I bought my first Elec-Trak, an E10
that I'm still using.

Dwight,
I started
out with a match set of Power Patrol batteries with a 6 month warranty, The
first one died at 8 months. If I bought a new set every time one quit I
would have bought 54 batteries in the last 4 years. I am beginning to
think the battery companies send their rejects to Michigan. You will
find very few electric golf carts here. All the golf clubs, and cart
dealers in this area say they refuse to deal in the electrics because they
have to much trouble with the batteries!! I have not been able to
find any used batteries around here. I am retired now and have to watch
the pennies. The 2200 seems to get along good with the 5 1800s.
They equalize at the same time and voltage.

Ralph,
All the
batteries should be the same amp hr. when you pay good money for new ones.
In fact they should all be out of the same lot number so they are all the
same age.
You will
have problems charging,
Good luck.
Dwight
