It's not recommended to put water directly into golf cart batteries. Here are some tips on proper battery maintenance:
- Golf cart batteries (lead-acid type) require periodic water/distilled water replenishment to replace water lost due to evaporative cooling.
- Only use distilled or deionized water to refill batteries. Tap/mineral water contains impurities that reduce battery life.
- Check electrolyte (fluid) levels at least monthly. Add water if levels are low, but don't overfill.
- Only add water after fully charging the battery. This mixes the electrolyte properly.
- Don't add battery acid or electrolyte unless doing a complete replacement. Only add water.
- Some batteries have built-in watering systems that automatically refill to the proper level. These reduce maintenance.
- Be sure to wear eye protection when checking and adding water or electrolyte to batteries.
- Properly reattach caps after refilling and clean any spilled fluid.
With routine water replenishment, proper charging, and good connections, golf cart batteries can last several years. Let me know if you have any other battery maintenance questions!
