Do not buy a battery from these guys.
I paid basically $200 for a golf cart battery yesterday. Connected it and realized my charger still wouldn't read the voltage to start a charge to the system (so no current went thru the battery) I was advised to buy all the same brand batteries from the manufacturer. Called for a refund and was denied after I explained my situation. After explaining that I've bought and returned batteries to other retailers (autozone, hi-lo etc) with no issues. I was basically called a liar. The manager was quite condensending to say the least. Save your money and your self respect and go elsewhere. Thank me later..

HOW DO BRAKES WORK?
Expand FAQ item
Brakes work by using friction to turn kinetic energy into heat. There are two designs: drum brakes (older), and disc brakes (newer). Both use hydraulic pressure to move a piston outward. In disc brakes, the piston is located inside a caliper that houses brake pads and fits over the rotor. The friction lining on the pads makes contact with the rotor to slow the vehicle. In drum brakes, the piston moves two curved shoes lined with friction material against the inside of the brake drum.
