Correctly Charging Your Electric Golf Cart

Electric golf carts are an incredible choice, but many people find themselves concerned with prolonging the battery life of their vehicle. Everyone might have a different charging routine, but there are a few tips that can make charging your electric cart a lot easier! Our team at Electric Golf Car Company has put together a few tips for you.

Quick Tips

Charging a golf cart is actually pretty simple. Just hook up the charging cables to the golf cart's battery and then plug the other end into a standard outlet. Most golf carts come with a specific charger that is designed to work with the battery, so be sure to use that. Many models will have a charging port as well so you won’t need to interact directly with the battery. You should always check the owner’s manual for information regarding the specifications of your golf cart’s battery and charging method. 

Generally, you should let the golf cart charge for at least eight hours before unplugging it and using it again. If you frequently use your golf cart, it's a good idea to charge it after every use. This will help prolong the battery's life and keep your golf cart running smoothly every time you use it! 

Finally, if you won’t be using your golf cart for an extended period of time, you should disconnect the battery during storage to prevent corrosion and to help it keep a charge. 

Charging your electric golf cart shouldn’t be difficult, but it's important to know how to charge the battery correctly. This will ensure that your golf cart performs at its best and doesn't suffer from any unnecessary wear and tear. Visit us in Citrus Heights, CA, to view our selection of electric carts.
