EZGo has on their web site the proper method for "conditioning new batteries"

Electric Carts that were left unattended for long periods ( Months ) would allow the batteries to get sulfated. In simple terms that means scabbed over plates that will not every recharge.

Some people would over charge their batteries. Or quick charge them which shortens battery life.

Allowing batteries to drain below a 50% charge over and over can reduce life

There are some good posts on TOTV in the cart sections that explain this.

This is why some people feel much more comfortable with a Gas Cart.
