Same as my Golf Buggy JS. Keep the two batteries on charge all the time as told, but i have Gell Batteries made in Germany (Quite Costly) but they say they are better ?
As i have had it for a long time i can tell you it cost next to Zilch to keep them on charge 24/7.
Cheers

Re: Electric Cars.
I went to Transport NSW this morning and got a local drivers license with a rang of 15 Kilometers, that covers the whole of Cooma so I will be right for a while, I just have to bamboozle the Dr next week with my eyesight,.

Thanks for that I have to do it on Monday, Betty has been trying to get me to memorize the chart we have but thinking of it now it could be the wrong one, though my sight when driving is good my reading of the chart isn't.

Vernon.
The reason I feel he failed me was because I wouldn't go to his specialist mate for an op on my right eye, that is what happened in the Cooma specs, they get a backhander, he practically blinded me with a camera shot in both eyes, two weeks later my right eye where I have a small cataract is now ok but my left which had a new lens is blurred.
If one believes this doesn't happen, my wife was told three and a half years ago by a specialist she had to have urgent Dialysis, which meant four days a week traveling around 390 kilometers to Canberra and back, her kidneys reading had dropped to 12, now they are, without any dialysis back up to 14 with a diet, many backhanders going on in the Medical profession.

Re: Electric Cars.
hi des #15
good morning, reading of your immediate eye problem i can only let you know of my own eye test the other week, where the optician told me there was no change since my last test, and that test was about four years ago, i have no miracle cure to offer you except to say that i use ordinary eye wash bought from the chemist,and i have noted that after use i can read the small print when reading the newspaper without glasses.
other than that i note miracles do happen, as a woman from linconshire in the uk woke up with a welsh accent the other week.sadly she has given her job up in the local weatherspoons because the locals are constantly taking the puss out of her.
best of luck
tom
