Basic Concept of Golf Cart Battery

With the development of economy, more and more people choose to play golf to enrich their life, for them, it is better to have a golf cart. However, the operation of the golf cart is not without the credit of the battery. Before most golf carts use lead-acid batteries, although the service life of this battery is not as long as lithium batteries, but its safety performance is also better than lithium batteries. However, in recent years, due to the high energy density of lithium batteries, more environmentally friendly and lighter weight and other advantages, so that lithium batteries are becoming more and more popular.

Golf cart battery maintenance

1. Charging skills

Regular charging: Charge the battery after every use of the golf cart, no matter how many minutes you have used it. Because if the battery is low for a long time, it may affect the capacity and life of the battery. And regular charging also prevents the battery from being in deep discharge mode. Therefore, charging your golf cart in time is a must.

Use the instruction manual: When you buy a golf cart battery, there will be an instruction manual, which describes in detail how to charge the battery and the hazards of wrong charging.

Use a good quality charger: When charging the battery, choose a charger with good performance to avoid damage to the golf cart battery due to overcharging or undercharging.

2. Maintenance Program

(1) During the season

Before starting: To ensure safety, you should first check the battery for damage, deformation, and whether the battery has corrosion and other problems. Secondly, you have to check the battery connectors and tighten the vent caps. Finally, you have to check the voltage and load test of the battery, which can reflect the health condition of the battery.

During the season: no matter how long or short the usage time is, the battery should be fully charged in time after each use. And be careful not to drain the battery to avoid shortening the battery life. If the battery leaks, etc., we should repair or replace it in time to ensure safety.

After the end: after taking out the battery from the golf cart, we should clean the battery and store it in a cool and dry place, and at the same time, pay attention to keep away from the heat source and take good dust-proof measures.

(2) During the off-season

Regularly test the performance of the battery using tools such as a voltage tester. Charge the batteries at regular intervals to prevent the batteries from losing performance and service life due to low charge. If you are using lead-acid batteries, be careful to replenish water (use distilled water) if the battery capacity is too low after charging is completed.

Precautions

1. Avoid over-charging: When charging the golf cart, we can choose an automatic charger to avoid over-charging, because if over-charging, it may reduce the capacity of the battery and cause more damage to the battery.

2. Replace the battery at the right time: When the battery is used for a long time, there may be a decrease in battery capacity, battery expansion, shorter running time and so on. At this time, we need to consider whether to repair or replace the battery. Repairing the battery can prolong the service life of the battery, but if it is repaired too many times, its performance will be greatly reduced. Therefore, we should replace the battery at the right time to ensure the efficient operation of the golf cart.

3. Avoid excessive discharge: Generally speaking, when the discharge of the golf cart battery is maintained between fifty percent and eighty percent is the best state, if the discharge is too high may shorten the service life of the battery.

Summarize

In short, to ensure that the battery is in the best state, not only to the correct use, but also to the battery for proper maintenance, in addition, in the use of the process but also to avoid a variety of detrimental to the use of the battery occurs.
