How do I check and add water to my golf cart batteries?

How to Check and Add Water to Your Golf Cart Batteries

✅ Step 1: Safety First

• Wear gloves and safety glasses.
• Work in a well-ventilated area.
• Use only distilled water (never tap water).

✅ Step 2: Check Water Levels

1. Turn Off the Cart and unplug the charger.
2. Open the Battery Compartment and locate the battery caps.
3. Remove the Caps (they may be screw-on or snap-off).
4. Check the Water Level – The electrolyte should cover the battery plates but not overflow.

✅ Step 3: Add Water (If Needed)

1. Only Add Water After Charging – Water expands during charging, so top off only afterward.
2. Fill to Just Above the Plates – Leave about 1/4 inch of space from the top.
3. Use a Battery Watering System or Funnel to avoid overfilling.
4. Replace the Caps Securely after filling.

✅ Step 4: Maintenance Tips

• Check water levels once a month.
• Only use distilled water to prevent mineral buildup.
• Keep terminals clean to ensure proper charging.
