With the colder weather lately my batteries are losing a charge faster than when the weather is warmer. I try to conserve the batteries by driving slower to "distant" courses which helps.
I can't give you a definitive answer regarding solar panels. I got mine from Solar for Golf Carts at 352-209-2049.

So if a solar panel doesn't increase your range, do you have to plug in at night? Or do you have plenty of spare capacity at the end of each day the solar takes care of all your cart's energy requirement?
