Battery question

stewartfan · 08-26-2008, 09:50 PM

We just bought a 93 ezgo , got it home and pulled the rear end since it had a broke axel to put the other one in it. We were gonna charge it but when we checked the batteries we saw that they had no water. We have no idea how long the chambers have been empty and did not know where to take it from here before we place it on charge.What advice do you all have for us.

Welcome to the forum stewartfan....................

You can fill them with water and start charging them 2 at a time with an automotive charger untill they get up to the voltage that turns on the golf cart charger and just see what happens. Anytime a battery cell is left dry, there is going to be damage done, and they usually never recover properly.

Make sure to use distilled water!
