Low voltage on 2 batteries
I recently installed new batteries in the golf cart. I have voltages of 7.85 volts on two of the batteries. The other 4 are 8.73. I will pick up a battery hydrometer tomorrow. The charger appears to work fine (power drive 2). The serial number is AQ0245 on the cart. Once the cart has run out of power within a 1/2 mile or so of driving on flat terrain. The lights and radio will go out when you accelerate or go up an incline. I'm not sure if there is a voltage reducer on this model or if it's getting power for the stereo and lights from the batteries that are low. There is a small gauge wire coming off one of the batteries with low voltage that goes into a wire loom I haven't pulled it all out yet to find where it goes. Just wondering if I might have a couple of bad batteries from the store or if something is pulling down these two?
Thank you for any help,
RD
