I vote for replacing the batteries with Trojans (the extended life
version of the T-104) and a smart charger Iota 45 volt 3 stage charger.
About 6 years ago I sold my so-equipped Citi to a friend.? It was also
equipped with an E-meter watt-hour meter.? He came down a couple of
weeks ago for us to go shooting (we're both PCP air rifle fans) and I
asked him about the Citi.? He says the E-meter is still reporting about
90% capacity.? Trojans are that much better!
BTW, if you decide to go this route, I have a practically new Iota
complete with the charge wizard.? I used it once while I stored a
fishing buddy's 45 volts of trolling motor while he traded boats.? I've
gotten too old and physically run down to do any of that kind of stuff
anymore so the price will be right.

Hi folks.
Kriss here from Normal, IL.?? ??
I need to decide whether to get a new set of batteries for this year or sell my 1975 citicar.?? It is original with contactors, original charger, etc.?? Some body cracks.?? ??48 volt.??
I got my last set from a guy that had some used up in Milwaukee.?? ??
Also might be interested in a smart charger.?? The one in the car I think shortened the life of my current batteries.????
Thanks in advance.
