Overcharging Can Kill Batteries
-
O'Tools Tool & Equipment Rental says that overcharging batteries causes the most damage to their life. Overcharging causes water loss in the batteries, which can cause them to overheat. Using a charger with an automatic turn-off will help regulate the charge time. If your charger does not turn off automatically, you may need to replace a bad battery or the charger.
Bottom Line
-
Charge your golf cart after every use. Don't let your cart sit for a long time without charging because the batteries will get weak. Use an automatic turn-off charger to avoid overcharging your batteries so you can get the most life out of them.
