The key component in an electric golf cart is the battery. Golf cart batteries Parkland achieve their maximum performance over extended time periods by having the ability to discharge to lower voltage levels without significant damage. In short, golf cart batteries can run for a relatively long time on just one charge. This is the main qualifying factor for a deep-cycle battery. In addition to golf carts, deep-cycle batteries are used for power storage in RVs, forklifts, boats and other personal watercraft, and for many renewable energy systems such as wind power or solar power.
Golf cart batteries Parkland are available in 6V (6 volt), 8V (8 volt) and 12V (12 volt) in order to support multiple configurations of the most commonly used 36 volt and 48 volt golf cart systems. System voltage depends mainly on the manufacturers’ specifications as well as the size of the cart and the features included.
Electric golf carts are generally sought after because of their efficiency and because they are very low-maintenance. When an electric golf cart is cared for properly, the golf car batteries will provide a reliable power source that will offer many hours of enjoyed use. There are essentially four key factors in maintaining your golf car battery:
Always ensure you maintain the proper water levels in each cell, preferably with distilled water;
Keep the terminals of your golf cart battery clean;
Try to avoid dropping the battery charge to a very low voltage by charging the battery every evening. Most battery chargers include an automatic shut-off option to avoid overcharging, as well as an automatic restart option to top up the charge if it has dropped after a long period of immobility;
Winterize your cart. Please refer to our self-storage guide for guidance on winterizing.
These simple tips will guarantee that your golf cart battery will take you where you want to go, when you want to go there.
