We were told by the Club Car dealer three years ago when we purchased our first new electric cart to never leave the charger plugged in while we were gone. They said any near lightning strike (and we all know we have plenty of those) may knock out your charger and possibly ruin your electronics in the electric cart. They told us there have been several situations in The Villages where lighting strikes through plugged in chargers had caused fires. They told us to ALWAYS disconnect the charger during a thunder storm. Their suggestion was that if the cart was to be idle for an extended time to either have someone come in and charge batteries once in awhile or buy a gas powered cart.
