Filling the batteries is easy. Get some distilled water and a turkey baster (easiest); prop open the seat; pop open one of the tops on the batteries and see if it needs water -- it should have 1/4 to 1/2 inch in each cell. If it has less than that, add some water with the baster. If you put in too much, just pull some out.

One thing to remember is do NOT fill the battery and then charge it. Charge the cart first and then fill.

Does the rental come with the rental or are you renting separately? If a separate rental, you might want to give Jim Followell a call. He has better carts than you can rent from The Villages and he's cheaper. I'd give you his number but don't have it handy. He is in the phone book.

Oh, and enjoy your visit!
