That's one of the problems I have with my cart. It's overdue for a checkup. Brought it to the Villages Golf Cart shop to ask about something else and the service guy saw the corrosion on the battery, said yeah it's definitely time for a replacement. The seal is broken, I'm barely topping out at 9 volts after running it for a half hour, it's idling at 8.4 volts. Should be 11-15 volts. For the "Lifestyle" maintenance package, plus battery replacement, plus fixing the wiring on my digital meter thingie over the steering wheel (it shows voltage, gas level, oil level, time, outside temperature, odometer, speedometer, and a couple of other things I have no idea what they are) - everything will be under $300 total. It'd be under $200 if I didn't need the battery but, eh - better now than after it dies in the middle of a cart path somewhere on a rainy day.
