We have 2 electric carts and were told by both dealers to charge every night. I got a "Battery Minder" for mine. It is a trickle charger that can stay plugged in for months with out overcharging the batteries and shortening battery life.
One of our carts has 8-6 volt batteries and the other has 6-8 volt batteries. We have had great luck with our electric carts and love the quiet, care free function of the electric. We have great range on both of them and can golf 18 holes, run to the grocery store and out to the squares at night.
People are always talking about electric carts being unreliable, but that sure hasn't been the case for us. We do check the water levels monthly and need to buy new batteries every 5 yrs or so. But It is great to have a quiet, clean operating cart with no oil changes, or spark plugs or gas fill ups needed.
We have never been stranded, in fact we have assisted several people who were stranded with gas carts that has unexpected problems.
You can call Battery Boys and they will give you instructions on how to best charge the batteries your cart uses, to ensure longest possible battery life.
