  • Getting our golf cart ready for the season involves cleaning and charging it up. We noticed it wasn't charging at all. Instead of replacing all the batteries I figured out which ones were bad using our Centech battery charger.

    Do you naturally get some voltage drop from just having a really long string of several batteries together, from there just being many batteries on a chain? Thanks.

    Could have recovered the two batteries using a "PulseTech" Extreme Desulphator/Charger. Just takes some time and patience. I have one one every battery I own. Engine driven welders, vehicles etc.

    Ive had very good results draing old acid and replacing with distilled water and epsom salts.

      I looked into doing that, but golf carts seem to have a bad reputation for catching fire while charging batteries. We've actually stopped charging during night hours while on vacation because we have heard of so many house fires due to golf carts being charged during the night.

    So, you didn't try to recover those batteries that were bad? I had some like yours and I put a 12V 200 amp charge for 15 minutes at a time and brought it back to life.

    Seems like the store could have sent someone to bring the batteries out and get the old ones for you

    contrary to popular belief,,,,golf cart batteries are not designed to be ran dead before charging. they should be discharged no more than to 80% of full charge.

    2017 is not that old for a golf cart battery it's going on 4 years old.. mine usually lasts about 8 years with proper maintenance

    Keep those batteries on the concrete any longer and you’ll be replacing them all in no time
