Can I use car batteries in my golf cart?

No, car batteries are not suitable for golf carts. Golf carts require deep-cycle batteries, while car batteries are starter batteries designed for short bursts of power. Using car batteries in a golf cart would result in:

Short Run Time – Car batteries aren’t built for long, sustained discharge.
Reduced Battery Life – Repeated deep discharges will damage car batteries quickly.
Performance Issues – Golf carts need steady power output, which car batteries can't provide.

For best performance, use deep-cycle golf cart batteries (e.g., 6V, 8V, or 12V depending on your cart).
