Re: (ET) Who makes the best 6V golf cart batteries nowadays?

["David Roden" <etpost drmm net>]

I've used US Battery for years and have been generally satisfied.  They're 
also sold as Interstate Workaholic brand.

I might be inclined to try East Penn, however, since I've also been very, 
very pleased with their gel batteries in the ET, and their SLI batteries 
in 
ICEVs.

I don't recommend battery maintainers.  In my experience they do more harm 
than good.  A battery left on float charge is good for about 3 years, 
whether it's ever used or not.

Keep your batteries clean and dry and as cool as possible, and top them up 
with a regular charger every 3 months or so.  That's all that's necessary 
or 
desirable.
