Deep Cycle Golf Cart Battery Charging

Bite the bullet and get new batteries. Sams Club Duracell are some of the cheapest and work great. I have installed them in many carts where people didn’t want to spend the money on Trojans. Also, Batteries Plus has good deals. Can order online and get a 20% coupon. Even if the ones you have hold a charge, they will discharge at a quick rate and leave you stranded when you don’t want to be. I recommend checking water ATLEAST once a month. As long as the plates are covered you can charge. Always add water after a full charge. Not before. Fill water to cover plates but leave 1/2” below bottom of fill cap. The batteries need that little bit of air space to vent gas. You can look up on Trojan website. Also, when charging, lift seat so gases can escape. The gases are what eats the terminals and cables. I coat the cables and terminals with spray from auto store. I recommend leaving charger on when ever cart is not being used. Don’t forget. Seat up when charging. The Delta charger is a great charger that will go into float mode when batteries reach a full charge. Look up the information and make sure it is programmed correctly for your batteries. Easy to do. Even in Florida heat, we get 4-6 years out of batteries following these instructions. And remember, the water will evaporate in the batteries from heat when charging and heat when using. Water level is crucial to long battery life. ��
