Re: (ET) Tired of lead acid batteries

["Don Cohen" <bond 007 verizon net>]

Hmmmm....I bought the batteries for my E-20 at Sam's club ($55 each - made
by Trojan, I believe) back in 1999 and they are still going strong, albeit
maybe not like brand new. I can mow 2 to 2.5 hours before they are about
shot, and that is with frequent stops, starts, and reverse - not to mention
hills. Used the stock charger (till my brother-in-law fried it) and didn't
do anything special maintenance-wise except checked them once or twice a
season to make sure they weren't running dry. I don't know what to say....

Subject: (ET) Tired of lead acid batteries

I have been buying the cheapo Sams Club golf cart batteries.  They just
don't last.  2 yrs, and I've had to replace a few.  Also, lead acid just
seems so old fashioned.

So no major problems, but looking for an alternative.

It looks like the bb600's might be of interest.  But not for $1000.

Thanks for the input all.
