Attention Electric Golf Cart Owners
About a year and a half ago I installed the semi-automatic battery water refill system on my electric cart. Because of renters, I thought it would be easier to do, which it is, BUT
The kit comes with a refill hose that has a squeeze bulb and attaches to a water input nozzle which in turns feeds water to all the cells at once. Sounds great huh? When the squeeze bulb won't take any more squeezing, thats the indication that the water level is up to par.
WRONG!
The squeeze bulb contains two check valves that prevent the water from going the wrong way. The check valves are metal and they rust and guess what they stick shut giving you the indication that the sytem doesn't need any water. This happened to me and also to my neighbor. This scenario can ruin your batteries. I can't emphasize enough the importance of maintaining the proper water level in your batteries.
Hope this saves someone some bucks
