FWIW...There is a lot of misinformation out there about lead/acid deep cycle batteries...
For anyone owning or caring for an electric (l/a bats) cart I highly recommend reading up on the care and process for breaking in a new set of batteries...I will cite another forum below without a hyperlink...it is the go to site for all cart owners...
a few facts about cart batteries...
They should never be allowed to get below a 50% charge..
They will lose about 1% charge per day just sitting...
Opportunity charging is a good thing...
The best single tool a cart owner can have is a good volt/multi meter...
Installing a "state of charge" indicator is a good thing...most newer carts have them by the OEM...
For 12 volt service (lights, radio etc., etc.) it is best to install a pack voltage reducer rather than coming off say 2 six volt batteries...
The site I referred to above is 'buggies gone wild dot com '
