I have a set of batteries that are 6-7 years old. I am noticing reduced
range when using the mower and leave vacuum. Does anyone have any tips
for testing the battery pack so I can estimate the % capacity I have
compared to new? Also does any one know where to get high capacity
batteries like T-125 at a good price?
I'd say run it till it's sad, then use a 100a load tester on each
battery. See which batteries drop the most and try hand-charging them.
I built a nice little battery monitor back when and used to use it to
monitor the pack. When the first battery went dead I was done.
Best place to get batteries IMHO are golf cart centers. You can usually
get a used pack for a good price and it will last for years in an Elec-trak.
