My daughter recently
purchased a Bintelli golf cart in December 2022, only to discover that the
batteries installed by Bintelli, the Manufacturer were 57 months old at the
time of sale—far beyond the typical 3-4 months Bintelli claims to use in their
new carts. This premature battery failure has left me with a costly issue, and
despite multiple attempts to resolve the matter, Bintelli refuses to accept responsibility.
If you own a
Bintelli golf cart, I strongly encourage you to check the manufacture date of
your batteries. The manufacture date is encoded on each battery with a letter
followed by the year of manufacture, month, and plant number. I find it hard to
believe that this cart was a one-off error. My suspicion is there are many more carts out there with the same issue.
Key Facts:
The cart was new, but the
batteries were 57 months old.Lead-acid batteries typically
last 3-6 years, meaning these batteries were already nearing the end of
their lifespan.Bintelli has refused to replace
or compensate me for this issue, directing me to the battery manufacturer
instead.
I’m now pursuing the
matter with the State Attorney General’s Office of Consumer Protection, but I
want other owners to be aware of this potential problem. Make sure your cart
has the batteries that correspond to the year model.
If you’ve
experienced similar issues, I’d love to hear from you on this forum so we can
ensure this doesn’t happen to others.
