Re: winter
Not sure about the cushman, but I would treat it kinda like a motorcycle. My plan (and I am new to carts) is to keep it all connected together. I am going to plug mine in about once every week or two.
On my motorcycle I would keep her on a trickle charger, keep the battery right at charge. Since my golf cart charger doesnt do that I am going to check gravity, then charge every now and then (power her up and look at charge indicator). No need to really disconnect everything I would think as there is nothing to really draw power/burn out just from being hooked up. Ron |

Re: winter
I would look into a heavy duty extension cord or make one, I would only make it as long as needed, there is a voltage/amperage drop with length. I made one that uses 8 guage wire, that is bigger than the wire going to your receptacle. I've also made a short one to run 220v for my welder.
