Question

Can I replace just one battery in a golf cart set of four six-volt batteries?

Community Answer

Yes, but only if only one is defective. Most often, all four will wear out at about the same time.

Question

Is it possible to charge a lead-acid battery to the proper voltage but not the proper amperage?

Community Answer

No. Once the battery's max voltage is obtained, the battery's capacity is full. The amperage your battery provides will depend on the battery's voltage and the resistance of the circuit it is powering.

Question

Is it OK to put triple A batteries in the freezer without putting them in a plastic bag if they are wrapped in a paper towel?

It's quite humid inside a freezer, so a sealed plastic bag would be better than a paper towel. The batteries will stay drier.
