Battery Maintenance
Battery Maintenance is an easy way to extend the life of your battery. It doesn’t take long to keep your batteries performing their best.
Keep your battery fully charged. For the longest life out of your AGM or flooded battery, it is best not to let the battery get too deeply discharged. It is also not good to store your battery in a discharged state. A smart charger makes keeping your battery charged easy.
If you have flooded, serviceable batteries, check the electrolyte level regularly. Top up with distilled water when low. Water Miser Caps are a great addition to golf cart batteries to help minimize water loss.
Keep the top free of grime
Check cables, clamps, and the battery case for obvious damage or loose connections.
Clean the battery terminals and connectors as necessary. NOCO makes a great battery cleaner.
Check inside of the battery compartment for excessive sediment, sulfation or mossing.
Finish up by testing the battery with either a hydrometer or voltmeter. See our Battery State of Charge chart to make sure your battery is fully charged.
To extend the service life of your battery, make monthly battery maintenance part of your routine.
We also have some summer maintenance tips and some winter storage tips.
