Rock and a hard place.

Evening gents.....
Kinda stuck with an issue as regards my Hill Billy Battery...
Its been on the go slow for the past 4 rounds and its only 2.5 years old...Really struggling on hills.
So as winters on the way im kinda thinking ahead slightly....

At 75 euro's for an 18 hole battery and 155 euro for the 36 hole im wondering is the price worth the effort...

Im really considering a carry bag seeing as winters only around the corner and most of our course will be closed off to trolley's...

The trouble is most of the carry bags that are decent are between 100-120 euro....

So you can see my problem...At the price of those battery's they aint cheap....Id have one in my car for 60 buck and a heavy duty one at that...

No worries, I can vouch for them 100% and with the free postage it is quite a good deal, a couple of guys at my place work for them but they are very good to deal with and the shop is magic too!!!

This might be a really stupid question, but can you not just use a small car battery?

am in same boat, mine is cream crackered after about 10 holes

look on ebay or do a wee google, theres plenty out there

is there much difference between a normal and a gel one? also what would folk recommend for 18 holes, no point with a 36 as rarely play that many (and apologies for thread hijacking )

For the small extra cost involved I would get the 36 hole battery. I the link above they have a smaller battery too.

Just paid £90 for a new motocaddy 36 hole battery, feels like daylight robbery but I have no choice as not supposed to caryy due to docs orders (i still do occasionally but cant on a regular basis)

Previously bought a cheaper one for £50, lasted 2 weeks past the 1 yr guarantee

Hi,
My go-kart battery is getting near the end of it's life span it's struggling to do 18 holes are there any other options that fit or dose it have to be a battery from go-kart?
Thanks Mike
