Last week, I went to the electric golf cart factory and learned how to assemble a cart. I saw the whole process of a golf cart. As an electric vehicle, it is still powered by batteries that are imported US batteries. Another important soul is the motor which control the cart. However, how far your cart can go depends on how much power the battery pack has. In general, you may have between 4 and 8 golf cart batteries underneath the seats.
As a matter of fact, we always focus on the batteries rather than other components when choosing en electric golf cart. Of course, this doesn't mean the motor or controller, tires, etc, are not important. Like the controller, it changes the direction. Just use the controller to go forward or backward. Tires are made of steel or aluminum. The aluminum tires are more experience. The company will make the right golf cart according to the consumer's demand. You can choose your color for your cart because the staff will paint any color you choose. Oh, another comfortable design is the seats. If you think our seats are not that comfortable for you, we can do for your custom made.
To prolong the life of a golf cart, you have to properly maintain the batteries. Golf cart batteries are designed to be deep cycle batteries this means that they can be discharged to a lower voltage without damage to their cores. It is charged by using a battery charger that changes the chemical composition within the battery. This charging process is not efficient and as such with each charging cycle the battery will hold less of a charge. In addition golf cart batteries that are deeply discharged have a shorter life span then batteries experience only shallow discharge cycles. A good battery charger will automatically charge the battery to a high voltage for a prolonged period to return the golf carts batteries to the proper chemistry.
Probably the number one problem that the golf cart owner will have with their golf cart batteries is not maintaining proper water levels in each battery cell. As you charge your battery it will begin to boil out water (hydrogen gas) as part of reversing the sulfide process. This water will need to be replaced on a regular basis with distilled water. Failure to keep battery fluids at optimum levels will shorten the life of your battery significantly. Basically the more you charge your battery the more often you need to add water to your golf cart batteries.
Keeping your golf cart batteries terminals clean is also very important. Clean terminals will allow the efficient flow of current from your golf cart batteries to your golf cart motors which will help them operate efficiently. Even more importantly it will allow the battery charger to correctly measure the condition of the battery so that a proper charging cycle can be applied. Again a properly maintained golf cart battery will last longer.
For an electric golf cart, the staff of the factory told me, "You just check and maintain the golf cart batteries on a regular basis. The life of your cart depends on the batteries. So generally there is some useful information on the surface of batteries to guide you how to properly use and maintain it. You just follow those steps to do that. Good Luck." Then I knew I am not only driving a cart, but using a battery. To avoid it happens that the cart suddenly stopped in front of me, I have to take care of him when I buy it.
