SIGNS YOUR GOLF CART BATTERY NEEDS REPLACING
SIGNS YOUR GOLF
CART BATTERY
NEEDS REPLACING
While there are many reasons a golf cart could suddenly
stop working, battery issues are the most common reason
for golf cart failure.
01
IT’S NOT
CHARGING
PROPERLY
● The older a battery gets, the longer
it takes to charge. If you’ve noticed
that it’s taking longer and longer to
fully charge your golf cart batteries,
odds are they are starting to wear
out.
02
YOU’RE RUNNING OUT OF
CHARGE TOO QUICKLY
● Similar to the above, an older
battery isn’t going to last as long
as it used to. If you used to get 6
hours out of a single charge, but
are now only getting a few hours,
that’s a pretty clear sign your
battery is too old.
03
YOUR CART IS SLOW
TO ACCELERATE
● Worn-out batteries just don’t have
the “oomph” a newer battery
would. Often, this translates to a
loss of power and slower
acceleration. Sluggish behavior or
an inability to handle even small
hills can be a clear indication of a
dying battery.
04
THE BATTERY IS
PHYSICALLY DAMAGED
● Open up the battery
compartment and take a look at
it. Aging batteries will start to
crack, warp, and bulge over time.
They may also start to leak or
begin to separate from where
they are connected to the
terminal.
05
IT’S PAST ITS
WARRANTY
● Like a car battery, golf cart batteries
often come with manufacturer’s
warranties that cover you in the
event your battery dies when it’s
still relatively new. Take a look at
your battery and check for the
warranty end date.
