My Phaeton has 4-6v Duracell batteries, purchased from Sam's just over two years ago. They only came with a one year warranty, which I have discovered is pretty standard for deep cycle batteries.
Separating the batteries I found that the problem is only in one of the batteries, that has shorted a cell. I have temporarily removed that pair of batteries and just running off the other two.
I'm just wondering if I should take a chance and just replace the one battery, the one pair or just go ahead and replace them all. I definitely will not buy the same brand battery, regardless.
Secondly: It appears my best choice is Interstate, from Costco at $105 per battery. Any better recommendations?
I think in this case, I'd go to a GC shop and buy a used battery. They're usually about $25 dollars and have done this a few times with golf carts.
That's a thought. I have a friend who rents a fleet of about 75 carts. I may check with him and see if he may have any old hold back singles for emergency use. Maybe I'll buy one for $25 or offer to sell him one for $25. Like I said whatryagonnado with one 6v battery.
