GOLF CART BATTERY MAINTENANCE TIPS
Extending the life of a golf cart battery is an effective way to improve golf cart performance and protect your battery investment. Crown Battery golf cart batteries are easy to maintain, however, they require regular monitoring. With these tips, you can ensure that you get the best performance from your battery. Be sure to follow proper safety precautions when performing any battery maintenance. Battery electrolyte, hydrogen gas, and electricity can be extremely dangerous, so be sure to exercise extreme caution. CHARGING GUIDELINES Original equipment systems generally include an automatic charging system to charge the battery. To maximize battery life and performance, batteries should be charged as described in the operating instructions included with the charging kits as prescribed by the China Lithium-Ion golf cart battery factory. A battery should always be recharged immediately after a full discharge period. Be sure to turn off the charger before connecting it to the battery, which could cause sparks. It is also important that the battery warms up to room temperature before charging, never charge a cold or frozen battery. IRRIGATION MAINTENANCE When providing an irrigation service, it is important to use only distilled or demineralized water. Before loading, make sure the liquid levels cover the top of the plates. Never charge the batteries if the battery plates are found to be bare. After the battery has completed charging, top up the liquid to make sure the plates are still immersed in electrolytes and the liquid is not higher than the battery cover vent, this may cause over-watering. Too much water dilutes the battery's electrolyte levels and reduces performance. If you have a battery with a PROeye indicator, check to see if the indicator has turned from green to white or clear, which means it must be watered with distilled or demineralized water.
