I used to work in a magnetics shop that wound transformers so I think I can replace brushes with a little help on where to find/buy them. Where is a good place to buy the Alltrax controller? It is a wonder this Curtis controller lasted this long. We have had the cart 10 years and I thought you were supposed to let batteries run almost dead before charging. So I have run it low to dead for years before charging. Wish I would have known this years ago. thanks alot for the knowledge!!
Lead-acid batteries have no memory, so they can be recharged at any time. For maximum battery lifespan (time until batteries have to be replaced), they should be recharged after each use and float charged between uses.

In a nutshell, the higher the average state of charge maintained, the longer it is before you have to buy new batteries.

You can get brushes from EZGO: https://shop.ezgo.com/products/Brush...ement-Kit.html

But you can probably find them cheaper at a local motor shop.

As for the controller: http://www.cartsunlimited.net/Custom_Options.html
