Continued golf car maintenance is important to get the longest life out of it you can! Here are 6 tips to keep your golf cars running smoothly...
- Charge cars regularly. Golf car batteries do better when the voltage is kept steady, rather than peaks and valleys in their voltage.
- Keep battery terminals clean and tight. Battery protectant sprays are available at most auto parts stores. If acid does build up, use a strong mix of water and baking soda to clean.
- Check battery water level regularly. Check and fill (if necessary) in the morning after a full charge. Water should be above the lead plates and below the filler neck.
- Distilled or deionized water is best, but city water is ok. Well water has too many impurities and is not recommended.
- Keep tires properly inflated. Usually in the 18-20 psi range. Check your Owner’s Manual to be sure. This also makes your tires last longer.
- Check the charger routinely – visually inspect for cracks, loose connections, and frayed wires.
Always, wear safety glasses or approved eye protection when servicing the vehicle or battery charger, and wear a full face shield and rubber gloves when working on or near batteries.
