Our car purchased brand new a little under two years ago has already had the battery replace under warranty. Lack of use was what the dealership claimed. Replace it for free is what I claimed and my wish came true. The car has a little over 12,000 miles on it. I start the car for about 15 minutes every two day cause if we gotta go we gotta go! LOL The entire reason for a new car is to not have to think of items like this but the heat supposedly shortens the life of the battery. Go figure?

Every couple of days is more than enough for your car battery. During cold winters up North I did it weekly on my stored car and it worked fine for 30 years. Regarding your golf cart battery.................It's the same as your car battery, just less cranking power. Weekly is fine as well. Do it every couple of days if you are bored. You can take it for a spin around the block, or put it in neutral and give it a little gas.


Best to back everything out of the garage to avoid getting a little gassy with fumes.
