Great idea for golf carts! A battery tender is about 60$-90$ bucks, and mine is hard wired into our Subaru so I just plug it into the wall and plug it into the matching socket, close the hood and leave. Bought one for a friend while she left her car in the garage for 6 months. Starts right up!

Battery disconnect also works, but can't help a drained battery. Buy both and install both. . .

YMMV
