Like any vehicle, electric golf carts contain moving parts and as such require regular routine maintenance. It is always recommended that you have a qualified Technician carry out a full Maintenance Service on your golf car at least once per year, however there are some basic maintenance procedures that must be carried out by you on a regular basis in order to keep your vehicle in optimum working order.
Below is a basic guide to assist you, the golf car owner, to carry out general maintenance on your golf car. In this scenario, let’s assume you play one or two 18-hole rounds of Golf per week and your cart is fitted with Deep-Cycle Lead-Acid batteries.
Contrary to what some people think, the Deep-Cycle batteries in your golf car DO NOT like to be run flat and then charged up again. Deep-Cycle batteries will last a lot longer if you ‘top up’ the charge. Very simply, most (if not all) late model golf cars come with an automatic charger that will turn itself off once the batteries are fully charged. As a result, we strongly recommend that once you have finished your round of golf and have your golf car safely parked away, place the car on charge and leave it plugged in until you next wish to use it. By charging your car up after each round, you will greatly increase the life of your batteries.
