What kind of batteries are used in Golf cars?
Golf cars use "deep-cycle" batteries. Deep-cycle batteries can be discharged almost completely and recharged several times without any major damage. A regular car battery cannot withstand this severe cycling without having its life significantly shortened.

How do I clean my batteries?
Clean your batteries once a month. Just gently mist them with a garden hose. This will help prevent corrosion of the battery cables, terminals, and frame of your golf car. Washing should not be done in the garage or driveway. The acid will cause permanent stains on the concrete.

Should I put baking soda or grease on my batteries to make them last longer?
It is not necessary to do this if you clean the batteries regularly.

How often should I charge my batteries?
For chargers with a manual timer usually 6 - 8 hours after 18 holes of golf or 4 - 6 hours after 9 holes. As a rule of thumb double the charge time of estimated use. For example: If used for 3 hours charge for 6 hours. If you have an automatic charger, just plug it in. It will shut off when the batteries are fully charged. To get the longest life from your batteries, do not run them completely down before charging. You should ensure your car is in the neutral position and the key is turned off when charging your batteries.

How often should I add water?
You should check the water level in the batteries after you clean them or, once a month,

What kind of water should I use?
Use distilled, purified, or de mineralized water. Do not use tap water. Tap water contains minerals that will build up in the batteries and eventually cause loss of power.

Is it safe to use a credit card over the Web?
The shopping cart software we are using transmits all order data as encrypted information over the internet. It is never in clear text and available for interception. Your credit card transaction is as secure as if you handed the credit card across our parts counter in Mesa AZ. If you are concerned about this we, of course, welcome your phone order or mail orders as an alternative.
