FAQ about Golf Cart Battery

This article will tell you some common FAQ about golf cart batteries that it happened to you when using golf carts.

A.聽聽聽聽聽 Are golf cart batteries with no power normal?

Q. The golf cart batteries also called storage batteries will discharge when stored for a long time.

This will help to prevent corrosive damage. You will also need a wrench, voltmeter (an instrument used to measure voltage), hydrometer to measure the gravity of the electrolyte solution, post cleaner, clean cloths, a small brush and a jar of petroleum jelly.

A: What should I notice when handling batteries?

Q: Because the batteries uses sulphuric lead electrolyte, the electrolyte may hurt you without doing some precautions. Wear protective clothing such as goggles and acid proof gloves whenever you service a battery. Since there might be acid leak when cleaning, avoid skin contact. Never smoke anywhere near a battery, and don鈥檛 try adding acid to the battery.

The batteries uses sulphuric acid electrolyte. They changed from lead dioxide when charged, to lead sulfate when discharged. The type of batteries voltage is 2V, 4V, 6V, 8V, 12V and so on. Add distilled water to the storage batteries when using for a few times, so as to maintain 22%-28% sulphuric acid electrolyte.
