  • 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
    How long do the batteries need to recharge for?
    Community Answer
    The time to recharge will vary depending on the capacity of the battery. Most small household batteries (AA, AAA, cell phone, etc.) will recharge in about 2 hours.
  • 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?
    Top Answerer
    It's quite humid inside a freezer, so a sealed plastic bag would be better than a paper towel. The batteries will stay drier.
