REDWITCH you're right! By leaving a battery charger on for even a couple of months at a time is very hard on them & the life of that battery probably will be cut in half. Battery chargers make a battery hot & will boil or make it hot enough that the water will evaporate in a very short time. I would do what REDWITCH said, get a battery tender. I had a battery backup sump pump in my last home (in Ohio) & when I first got it I left it plugged in all the time & this battery was a Marine battery, it's better than what these golf carts have, it lasted 1 yr. & I had to buy another expensive Marine battery. So to answer you question, NO I wouldn't leave you cart plug in for 5 months, personally I would make sure it's fully charged before I left & leave it go. Leaving it charge will cook it!
