Re: (ET) 8v battery in the mix?

I would not do that.  The 8v can't have the same capacity as the 6v if it's is the same size.   I free exchange for a used 6v with the other 5 at end of life isn't a bad idea.  Might get you another year.  Definitely not worth getting 1 new one in with the old.  It will be wrecked in short order.

Subject: (ET) 8v battery in the mix? 

My pack is probably 7-10 years old, and still does all I need it to--or did until I found one battery open circuit this spring.

As I understand it, putting one new battery in with the other 5 does no favors to the new guy.

My local golf cart dealer will basically exchange a 'decent' old trade-in battery --when he gets one--for my dead one.  He's already been through the spring rush though, so no idea when that might be.

He does have some trade-in deep cycle 8v batteries though, which seem to be the same physical size.  Any chance adding one to the mix might not be too much, until a 6v shows up??  

I do have a couple of ICE riders I can use, if this is a bad idea. 

Thanks.
