Do you feel it is safe to leave plugged in for 7 months? What about adding water?

Another (minor) problem is coming back to tires with 'flats' on them but, as long as you leave with them fully-inflated, they usually work themselves out within a short distance. You could put the cart up on blocks, but probably not worth the effort. |

Not sure why you are only concerned abt golf cart

You might want to look into one of those home minder services. The water should be run to keep the valves working and the traps filled. The water heater, the AC might fail. Your sprinkler might fail, Your lawn service might???? ETC. |

Check with your charger manufacture. It may handle long term storage. Mine does.

Surge Protector !!!
When we were part-timers, I had my cart battery plugged into a Deltran Battery Tender. The power cord plugged into a Surge Protector for the Florida summer lightning storms for several years. Never had a problem..

When I store mine for 5 months I just have a friend plug it into the charger once a month. Seems to work ok for the past 5 years.

If you have home wifi and a smartphone with data, you can turn your power outlet on and off from anywhere with a Belkin Wemo or similar:
