00:49 - 𝗤:01 - Cart lunge forward issue - I have a 1984 Club Car and it seems like when it starts, it wants the lunge forward but then after it gets going, it runs okay. What would you look at or would replace?
03:03 - 𝗤:02 - How often should charge cart batteries - I installed 4 new 12v batteries on Sunday. I use my cart for less than 15 minutes daily. The battery meter still showing 100%. How often should I charge batteries?
04:47 - 𝗤:03 - What is the best way to store the cart batteries - We live in Canada north of Winnipeg Manitoba and we get cold in the dead of winter. What is the best way to store the batteries or do I keep the charger on them all winter? Last year they were in an unheated garage, and I charged them once a month or so for a couple of days. I heard they should not freeze.

Thanks for stopping by the garage!

Another nice session. I'd be interested in how lithium batteries perform in cold climates.

[@GolfCartGarage]

Thanks for tuning in, Mark! We'll add that one to the Q&A list.

Hi I have a 1992 electric golf cart it has 6 batterys I have to fill them with water and I have a summit 2 charger al 4 light stay on the battery won't charge what can I do thanks

[@GolfCartGarage]

Thanks for watching, Ronny! We'll have some follow up questions from our techs, but we'd start with a load test on those batteries and checking the Summit II manual for the specific light fault you're seeing. We can help if you get in touch directly. [e-mail] or [phone]

What is the best way to store your cart over 6 months in a warm climate

[@GolfCartGarage]

In warm climate, there are fewer worries, but, here's a good checklist for storage. ua-cam.com/video/oO0DLB1RR_A/v-deo.html

Hi. I have a 2013 club car president. The batterys are 2021. When changing they bubble and have oder. Is this normal. Also my back lights keeps going out, when I test the volts at them lights it shows between 13- 18 volts. Is this my problem.

[@GolfCartGarage]

Thanks for watching, Scott! Charging results in heat, causing batteries to bubble and off-gas hydrogen which can have a sulfurous smell, this is normal. It's ideal to ensure you have good ventilation in your garage or storage area. Lights and accessories should only have 12V going to them. There should be a voltage reducer feeding 12V power to your lights. There may be an issue there, if voltage reducer is failing or not installed. Let us know if you need more help!

@@GolfCartGarage I just bought a 2020 Club Car with new Trojan batteries T-875 and when I first plugged it in when bringing it home I got the bubbling effect(no odor) and of course when the charger stopped charging the bubbling stopped. The next day I played 18 holes.... plugged it in and no bubbling and it went through the complete cycle fine. I just wonder why it doesn't bubble all the time when charging? My old 2007 Club Car also had Trojan's and it never bubbled. Just curious.....

[@rutroe73737]

Discovered my voltage gauge flashing after being on the charger for couple weeks so I unplugged and it’s still flashing? Any idea’s? I appreciate your show.

[@GolfCartGarage]

Thanks for tuning, in Sweet Potato! There could be an issue in the gauge, the charger, or the batteries. We have some questions. Recommend a consult with one of our virtual diagnosis techs here: www.golfcartgarage.com/gearheads-on-demand/ or get in touch directly at [e-mail] or [phone]

do you recommend lithium batteries for a club car ds GAS??

[@GolfCartGarage]

Hello. I always recommend lithium batteries. For a gas cart, you may need to find a smaller one than we sell though.

[@edwardwinter8046]
