How often should you maintain golf cart batteries?

With the popularity of the game of golf, there are more and more electric golf carts found around the golf course. Those carts typically are powered by 6 lead acid batteries mounted on a metal rack under the seat. To extend the life of golf cart batteries, we always need to check and maintain them on a regular basis. Each golf cart owner uses their cart differently and this pattern will determine how often the batteries will need to be maintained. If you utilize your golf car five – 7 days per week playing golf, working around the house, or on the job then you must check the water level in each battery every ten – fourteen days. If you use it less than that, then it’s important to check your batteries at least once a month. Of course, charging is a must-have job after every use.

However, before charging you should inspect the batteries. Visually check all terminals for frayed contacts and loose or damaged terminals. Inspect all battery terminals to insure that they’re clean (free of corrosion) and each battery wire is tight and securely fastened to battery post.
