Maintaining your golf cart battery is an important part of keeping your golf cart running smoothly and reliably. This is especially true during the winter season, when the cold weather can put a strain on your battery and cause it to wear out more quickly. Taking the time to properly maintain and keep a minimum charge on your golf cart battery can help ensure that your cart is road-ready for action even after sitting for a long period of time.

Myth: You should always let the battery drain completely

Bintelli golf carts and electric vehicles are equipped with a smart-charging system, allowing users to keep the cart plugged in and connected to a power source when not in use.  Set it and forget it, there’s no need to worry about “overcharging”, the smart-charging system will automatically control the power!  For other brands, we recommend using an off-the-shelf battery maintenance system, available at automotive parts stores. 

 

To keep your golf cart battery in good condition, you should check the terminals and cables for signs of corrosion and clean them if necessary. Most automotive parts stores offer inexpensive cleaning and maintenance kits. In addition, it is important to make sure that the battery is fully charged before each use. This will help to ensure that it is ready to go when you need it.

 

Taking the time to properly maintain your golf cart battery is an important step in ensuring that your golf cart runs reliably and efficiently.
