As we recently mentioned, Spring is only a calendar page away and what are now empty, brown, well groomed lawns will soon be ignited with new life as golfers take to the greens as the weather warms. Whether you manage a fleet of golf carts or you have one stored away in your garage, you'll want to take some time for maintenance and battery care or you'll find yourself carrying your own clubs and gear.
Golf carts run off of deep-cycle batteries. Although they look similar to car batteries, deep-cycle batteries serve a completely different purpose. While both are lead-acid based, deep-cycle batteries are designed to provide a steady current over a long period of time, while car batteries provide a very large current over a short period of time. This is because electric golf carts, like other electric vehicles, derive all their power from their batteries and are not used simply for starting.
