How to Repair Golf Cart Batteries

Golf cart batteries don't re-energize as you drive the golf cart. A cart that sees a lot of utilization will run down the battery charge totally every day and need a practically full charge every evening. This consistent releasing and afterward re-energizing is difficult for a lead corrosive battery and can bring about an abbreviated battery life. You can find ways to fix and renew your golf cart batteries when they give indications old enough.

Directions

Stage 1

Open the battery compartment. Since golf cart batteries are for the most part under the front seat this necessitates that the front seat be lifted out of the cart. On some cart models the front seat is pivoted and the front of the seat is lifted straight up.

Stage 2

Wipe the erosion off the batteries. Wearing gloves and eye goggles for insurance, blend 2 tablespoons of heating soft drink into 1 quart of water. Mix well. Dunk your paintbrush into this blend and afterward generously paint onto all regions where there is consumption on the batteries, particularly close by the battery terminals. Anticipate that the mixture should air pocket and bubble where the heating pop and sulfuric acid interact with one another.

Stage 3

Wash your paintbrush and plunge it into a holder of plain faucet water. Wipe all surfaces of your batteries with plain water until you have cleaned away the entirety of the erosion.

Stage 4

Review the batteries for breaks or different deformities. Eliminate and supplant any batteries that have a broken case, particularly on the off chance that it gives off an impression of being spilling sulfuric acid into the battery compartment.

Stage 5

Eliminate the plastic covers that cover the cells of the batteries. You may have to push the finish of a space screwdriver under the cell cap and pry upward to eliminate the covers. Investigate every battery cell and utilize a turkey baster to add refined water to any cell in which the plates are presented to the air. Add sufficient water to cover all plates.

Stage 6

Accuse the battery short-term of a three-stage charger set to charge 6-volt batteries. On certain chargers you should physically set the charge somewhere in the range of 2.3 and 2.35 volts. Connect the positive wire (red) to the positive (+) shaft of the battery and the negative wire (dark) to the negative (- ) post of the battery. Plug in and switch on the charger after it is associated with the battery.

Stage 7

Check the charge toward the beginning of the day. On the off chance that the battery charger shows that the battery has taken a full charge, investigate the cells and add more refined water to any cells in which the battery plates are presented to the air and afterward supplant the cell covers. In any case, if the charger doesn't demonstrate that the battery has acknowledged a full charge, you need to take additional actions (see Step 8).

Stage 8

Tip the battery on its edge and permit around a large portion of the sulfuric acid to run out of every cell and into a plastic compartment. Clean the battery with your paintbrush plunged in a preparing soft drink arrangement as portrayed in Step 2. Wash your battery with plain water, making certain none of the water gets into any of the cells.

Stage 9

Blend 8 ounces of Epsom salts into 2 quarts of warm refined water. Mix altogether. Utilize your turkey baster to fill every battery cell with the Epsom salts arrangement until the cells are totally covered.

Stage 10

Charge the battery short-term as portrayed in Step 6. The Epsom salts should eliminate stores on the battery plates which recently kept the battery from taking a full charge. Check the battery toward the beginning of the day. In the event that the battery actually will not take a full charge, it probably can't be saved. On the off chance that the battery has taken a charge, supplant the cell covers and utilize your cart typically. Put a stream charger on the batteries consistently to keep the batteries in top condition.
