Yes dear. Funny enough , that is exactly the type of battery I use , I bought it off a mate of mine seconhand and I didn't know how old it was , this was a good 4 or 5 years ago , I have used it a lot and last Summer very often for 5 / 6 hours , up to now after charging it over night it have never let me down .

Guess I must be lucky , does me enough for a good session out in the fields , got a big car batt I use if I can drive to an area but that hasn’t been out for a while with all this wet weather , don’t want to be making a mess on the borders on farm so it’s what I can carry at mo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kgreg Posted March 6, 2020 Report Share Posted March 6, 2020 Golf buggy battery 20ah, the 18 hole type as opposed to 36 hole (which I guess will be heavier) lasts the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
