Too much charging
There are days when my golf cart gets used a half a dozen times a day. Is it ok to plug it in between uses? Even if it is only plugged in for an hour and doesn't reach a full charge?

Re: Too much charging
Also, Is it ok to leave the charger plugged into the wall at all times?

Re: Too much charging
Absolutely fine to charge. Batteries like to be charged. I wouldn't leave the charger plugged in if you are going to be out of town for months. It could possibly suck the power out of the batteries in the event of a major power failure.

Re: Too much charging
while i don,t have anything negitive to say about charging your cart like that i,m a firm beleiver in once you plug it in to charge you should let it charge till its done, when you do that charge it an hour here a few hours there you just never know if your batteries are full or close to full............just my 02.......................

Re: Too much charging
Most people won't wait until its fully charged to take off. Lead acid batteries don't develop a memory and need NOT be fully discharged before recharging.
Even Trojan battery states Quote:

Re: Too much charging
like i said its just my opinion that once you start you should let it run its corse, i agree with you most folks just want to charge it long enough to get back on and ride again but i have pulled many carts back to camp with people scratching their head man i just charged it for 3 hours and they want to get 2 hours riding time out of it........ain,t gonna happen...........i do hear what your saying though...................................
