Skip to contentWhether you have a gas or electric golf cart, it will utilize batteries to help it operate. The batteries produce electricity which then gets transferred to other parts of the cart, including the motor and lights through the wiring. The batteries need wires or cables running to and from them, however, to control the flow of electricity. The standard wire size for golf cart battery cables is 6-gauge wire. This applies to both gas and electric golf carts. The more power or amp draw your golf cart needs to operate, the larger the wire has to be. Once you start to...…Skip to contentWhether you have a gas or electric golf cart, it will utilize batteries to help it operate.

Skip to contentIf you have a golf cart that uses traditional lead acid batteries, as most golf carts do, you might be aware that your golf cart batteries need water. Depending on the size of your golf cart battery, you will have between two and eight battery cells, and every cell has its own water compartment. Golf cart batteries need water in order to work properly. The water mixes with sulfuric acid inside the battery to generate an electrochemical reaction. Without water, the solution that causes the electrochemical reaction can’t form, and the battery won’t deliver voltage to the...…Skip to contentIf you have a golf cart that uses traditional lead acid batteries, as most golf carts do, you might be aware that your golf cart batteries need water.

Skip to contentIf you have an electric golf cart, then you understand how much of a handful they can be and you may be tempted to save some money and mix old and new golf cart batteries. Rather than having one large golf cart battery, most electric golf carts have a bank of four to eight batteries. Therefore, one or two of the batteries can give out while the others are working fine. When this happens, people often wonder if they can mix old and new golf cart batteries or if they have to replace the entire bank. It’s possible to mix old and new golf cart batteries if one or more of the...…Skip to contentIf you have an electric golf cart, then you understand how much of a handful they can be and you may be tempted to save some money and mix old and new golf cart batteries.

Skip to contentGolf cart batteries fulfill a simple task, but the way they do it is complicated and demanding. Because of the intense stress that gets put on golf cart batteries, they’re prone to a number of issues. One of the biggest problems and hazards you can run into with your batteries is that they start to swell or bulge. Golf cart batteries swell for various reasons, the most common of which is that you have a battery acid leak. However, golf cart batteries can also swell if your water levels are off or because of excessive heat. Swelling is never a good sign with your battery...…Skip to contentGolf cart batteries fulfill a simple task, but the way they do it is complicated and demanding.

Skip to contentIt’s never fun when you’re driving your golf cart around and suddenly sense a burning smell coming from your golf cart. While it’s possible that oil, gas, or something on your engine is to blame, it’s more than likely your battery cables melting. Golf cart battery cables melt when there’s too much current and electricity flowing through them. An excess of current and power will lead to overheating which then causes the battery cables and terminals to melt. Excess current is usually the result of loose or corroded battery cable connections. While a loose or corroded...…Skip to contentIt’s never fun when you’re driving your golf cart around and suddenly sense a burning smell coming from your golf cart.
