battery

[astella3]

are there any maintenance free battery that is recomended for electric golf buggies? checking for water level is so time consuming.

Sorry thats all part of ther cart experience, BUT you can get some battery automatic feed systems that will do job for you as long as you take the time to keep tank filled, but very expensive? There are batterys out there that dont need filling BUT really are not made to handle the high loads and fast recharges of golf cart usage and besides costs are out of sight, and in most cases require different chargers?
If you need to add distilled water over once a month, you may have batterys going bad and should do some condition testing?

A company called Full River makes AGM batteries, and they do not require water.

I haven't priced them.

Yes and they put those AGM batteries in the stealth cars and they seem to charge up nicely.Schauer makes a golf car charger that you can charge gel and acid flooded batteries with.
