Appears to be a SLI (Start-Lights-Ignition) battery.
Deep cycle batteries are needed for golf carts.

Ugh ok so the wrong batteries were purchased. Without deep cycle, what will happen? Way too fast battery drain?

rolltidega · 05-24-2021, 04:31 PM

So which one?

Very little run time, very short lifespan.

That battery only weighs 33 pounds and a 6V deep cycle battery weighs 60 pounds or more.

One weighs 64 pounds, the other weighs 68 pounds, I'd go with the heavier one unless the price is a lot higher.

Unfortunately, O'Reilly's doesn't give much info on their deep cycle batteries.

Thanks for the info. I have a family member that works at O’Reillys so the discount is hard to pass up. I am returning these batteries and using the credit to get these deep cycle ones.

Again, I appreciate the assistance.

Just wanted to make sure I understand all this information which is very helpful, I should charge my batteries as often as possible to keep get them and keep them at peak efficiency? My charger has an auto shut off and I get to 37.1 volts 24 hours after a charge. Should I charge them everyday to get them to peak efficiency 38.2 volts ? What is considered over charging? I purchased them in 2018 and I doubt I have charged them 50 times since purchase. I remove my batteries in the winter and store them indoors after a full charge.

I charge batteries after every use of the cart.
During the off season when not used I charge them every 2-3 weeks.
Be mindful to check water levels at each charge.😊

Just a quick one.
When my battery meter indicate empty, it's empty (50% soc) or empty (i'm damaging my pack now you shouldn't let it go this low)?
Thanks

A volt meter is the only true indicator of battery charge or soc.
Invest in a multi meter or digital volt meter like the meter sold by carts unlimited ,a vendor on this site.
Battery “indicators” are not an accurate soc for batteries 😊
