My GPS speedometer seems to be wired to turn off completely when the key is turned off. This means it takes a few seconds to find satellites and its location each time I turn it on. Since GPS doesn't work well indoors, it would probably take a few seconds to find its location anyway.

I use this one and have been very happy with it. I have a pair of water-resistant ones the same company makes for the place "up north" for the jet-ski and the boat. They work great, winter after winter without issue. Amazon.com

Marine battery

It shows a lot more information than only speed. Fuel level, heading, temperature, odometer, range until empty, battery voltage, time+date.

Had similar issue with two Yamahas. Went to Advance Auto Parts and purchased a small toggle switch (~$40) for the battery. Literally takes 5 seconds to toggle on or off. I do it each time I start or return to the garage. Problem solved.

I guess I’m a minimalist. Our carts have a fuel gauge, an hour meter, a compass, and I wear an analog wrist watch. Have never felt the need for any additional information while driving the cart.

Have had my cart 3 years and use it on short and long trips and let it sit for 7 weeks. Battery still great. 50% of the time I use my golf cart to play champ courses. Probably drive at least 5 miles and cart is probably started about 100 times and cart still starts effortlessly. Most of the other trips are < 2 mile roundtrip jaunts to the local stores. To answer your last question, have NEVER used a battery tender or a charger. Looks like you have a bad battery that is not capable of taking a charge. Those LED lights(if not on) should not be wiping out the battery. As an aside Villages estimated the cost of replacing the well for the clubs at 2X my actual repair cost at Country Power. Might go to an auto parts store and see if battery is OK |

In meantime, why would anyone want a gas cart if they have to hook up a battery charger every day on a gas cart. This is a harder connection than the connection for an electric cart. |

Maybe they now want to sell the long range/more expensive lithium battery carts. I would hate to have to plug in my gas cart everyday and still need to go to the gas station. |
