Isbell was mayor of Pasadena from 1981-1985 and from 1993-2001 when he reached term limits. He was returned to the mayor's office in January, 2008 for an unexpired term and subsequently was re-elected to a full term in May, 2009.
These are nicads though, probably your gold cart is lead acid. If you find a good cheap local source of deep cycle 6 volt batteries, let me know. I'd say 7 years is a pretty good run for golf cart batteries, esp. if you ran them down several times. You'll do even better if you top them off at 80% or more.
Golf Cart Batteries won't charge. I have a 2002 club car that I had stored in the garage since Jan 1. I just returned here and tried to charge the cart but nothing happened. I checked the batteries and 2 of them read about 3 volts and 4 of them read about 1 volt. Also they were all almost dry. I replaced the water but that's not going to help if the voltage is so low.
