Before going ahead and purchasing your cart, you must decide whether you prefer electric or fuel based. Electric carts require battery charging at least every 2 days and require a new battery every few years, however they are much easier to maintain and a lot less expensive to operate. Fuel based golf carts can run for longer without having to be plugged in each night and are suited for those who will be using the cart for 2 days or more without having access to a charger. With the ever rising petrol prices, gas powered carts have become quite expensive to maintain.
Electric golf carts are completely dependent on their battery in order to continue running. Choosing the right battery for your golf cart is extremely important. Choosing high powered battery may end up been a waste of time and money, however selecting a lower powered battery can be even worse and you may be left stranded on the green. Before purchasing your battery you should find out your price range, look into various brands and their specifications. Here are the 3 areas to look into.
1. Battery Brand
Firstly find out where you will be playing golf and the climate conditions, because certain batteries perform better in the cold and others in the heat. If you are looking purely for the lowest price then Exide is considered a very cheap brand. However if you are looking for a quality brand that will go the distance, then US Battery and Trojan are the most popular through buyers choice Autel Maxicom MK808TS. These brands are of good quality, higher power and can discharge quickly when needed.
2. How much?
The price is dependent on 3 factors; how much you are willing to pay, how heavy your golf cart is and lastly the quality of the battery. Firstly you should determine your price range, because batteries range from as low as $70 for a cheap brand, up to $400 for a top quality battery. If you have a very light cart then you will not require as much power and a cheaper battery will run your cart just fine, however the life of the battery may be short lived. If you have a heavy golf cart you will require a lot more power and will be paying more. Even if your battery does not come with a warranty, it can be purchased separately to the battery; however a quality battery will long outlast its warranty.
3. Specifications
The specifications of a battery can be quite confusing; however you should be sure to do your research, rather then relying solely on the salesman. The last issue you want is buying a battery with the wrong dimensions, so measure the size of the battery so that it fits into your golf cart. Find out how far you will be driving, how long and how fast. Batteries come with a ‘number of hours'; however this figure is not consistent with everyone, because if you like to drive fast then your battery will loose power faster. The same applies for slow drivers; if you drive at a consistently slow speed then your battery will be discharging at a low rate and will last longer. Lastly the ampere load is also dependant on the speed you will be driving at, low ampere loads for slower driving and high loads for higher speeds.
Quality batteries tend to cost more, but will last longer and perform better in all kinds of golf carts Maxisys MS906TS. This article has examined 3 steps to finding a suitable battery for your golf cart.
