We were just riding around the hood (80^ in early March in Middle Tennessee 
) like usual and after a momentary stop cart starting losing power quickly- LED bar type charge gauge showed about 50% which seemed low for distance we had traveled. Turned it off then back on and then it showed to be pretty much 100% which would be more normal. We limped along and each time we stopped and let it sit for a few minutes cart would run a 100 yards losing power and we continued this until we limped home- We have had this cart couple years- believe batteries to be 2115 - based on sticker with "5" removed- suppose could be 2005- batteries have always shown a very even 7.6 VDC on one tester I use.
Voltage when we got home showed over 6 volts on all batteries with a uncharged total after the limp home at 37 VDC. I checked the cables- tight- with a tad of rust - no corrosion white stuff.
Pulling a hard charge right now at 20 amps-
We keep in garage and charge / use maybe once a month during winter- this is wife's island toy- roads only not on beach- totally stock except lights-
I have a 12 VDC 100 amp load type battery tester- one of them that gets glowing orange and hot inside- I could check 2 batteries at one time (to get 12 VDC) under load-
Need to get this fixed- if momma ain't happy - nobody happy !!
