Lots of good information there. I haven't used that in nearly 10 years, but if I recall, it never dropped below green, though once the batteries hit the seven year mark, they were definitely tired.
Just in case you don't know, the voltage will drop any time you are using the cart. The greater the work, the deeper the voltage drop. Climbing hills with passengers will pull the voltage down more than cruising by yourself on a flat road. The thing that matters is around 12 or more hours after a charge completes - which may show red, especially on new batteries - and around an hour or so after use. Battery voltage will drop after a heavy load, and slowly recover.
