1. Use only distilled water
2. Fill to correct level after charging, ONLY
3. Correct level is 1/2 inch above elements (use a popsicle stick and draw a line at 1/2 inch)
4. Check your battery connections to make sure they're still tight and so each battery is
being used properly and being charged properly.
5.Do this at least once a month.
6. When charging cart after use, wait at least 20 minutes to let batteries COOL DOWN.
This will save you a lot of headaches.
I've followed these procedures for 2 years with my older cart and 1 1/2 years with my newer, and my batteries are in pristine condition and I've never boiled over and take each cart over 50 miles on a charge and probably more if I wanted to chance it.
PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE IF ALL THAT'S NECESSARY
