Re: Battery meters
My advice would be to use a spray can battery cleaner that you buy at any auto store. Reason being that you will have baking soda residue all over your battery compartment that is almost impossible to get off w/o flooding it. But that's your choice.

Re: Battery meters
Can't say that I have ever had any soda build up or issues with using baking soda. In fact, quite to the contrary, I have used it for years and years and it is plentiful, cheap, and allows me to clean the rest of the carts at the same time. One thing for sure, it is a tried-and-true method, but to each his own with what works best for their own application(s)....

Re: Battery meters
Got mine and need to install it. The tech at the shop yesterday recc removing the stock yellow battery light and putting the meter in it's place. Thoughts on that?
He also recc not leaving the charger plugged in. He said it was extremely rare, but it has happened that they can catch fire. He said he had only actually seen one in his seven years working on golf carts. But has heard of others. I'm parking mine in the garage. Don't want to burn the house down! So do most of you leave it plugged in when not riding? |

Re: Battery meters
Yes. [DPI charger] I do have mine on a surge protector though as it is in a steel shed that can be prone to lightning.

My digital meter quit working last week and I will replace it shortly. It feels like I am driving blind without it ... I am used to constantly referring to it ... especially since my batteries are getting near to the end of their useful life. Dundee - I have Blue Sea 8248 amp / volt meter to replace it ... as per your recommendation! |

I have numerous carts and ALWAYS leave them plugged in. Especially the ones in at the camp and in another state. That way every 15 days it does a maintenance cycle to top the batteries off and take care of them for me. |
