Default Charging question

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I have to ask.

I use my cart just around my place most of the time. Some days it may be several hours, some times it may be 10- 15 minutes. Some times it's everyday, sometimes it may sit for a week or two.

So my question, based on the various run times I get, do I still connect the charger after EVERY use? No matter how little? Is it beat just to leave the charger connected when not in use? Just want to get the best out of these new batteries Thanks for the help.

Usually the every use rule applies when the cart is used more than 10-15 minutes. If you are letting it sit more than 30 days, charge the batteries every 30 days. It is not a good idea to over charge the batteries, so if you use it for 10-15 minutes today, for example, and then tomorrow run it for a few hours, then charge it tomorrow not today.

I have a cart like this on the ranch. Sometimes it sits and other times it runs all day. After finding it dead or overcharged, I have finally installed a digital voltmeter in the dash... now I recharge at the proper time all the time.
My wife even tells me when it reads 36v and needs recharging ~ a drastic improvement to 'honey, the cart won't go!'

This is the same use mine gets. Guess I'll be ordering a meter.
