    I have had three sets of Sam's golf cart batteries aboard (I bought the first
    set, the rest were warranty replacements) and they have all failed in a few
    months. I got really tired of ferrying batteries back and forth so I finally
    bought a set of Trojan L-16's.

    Six volt batteries are useful because they make so many of them for the golf
    cart trade we benefit by economies of scale.

    I have always have had satisfactory service from Trojan brand batteries.
