Charging while cart on incline
Something just sprang to mind while reading about battery maintenance, fluid levels...etc. The driveway at my camp where I intend to park and charge the cart are on an incline, maybe 12-15 degrees. Would that wreak havoc with the batteries?

Re: Charging while cart on incline
I'm inclined to think as long as plates are sudmergered and no excess acid on top of batteries you'd be OK. What about parking on car ramps to get it level

Re: Charging while cart on incline
When you are parked where you normally charge, open the caps and check the water levels. If any part of any plate is exposed (not under water) you are doing irreversible damage just parking there let alone charging.

Re: Charging while cart on incline
And on the same note, if there are cells where the level is too high by virtue of the lean, it will cause excess precipitation of acid mist during the charging process. That can cause many issues outside the battery body....

Re: Charging while cart on incline
Thats what I was worried about. I guess I'll leave it at the bottom of the driveway where its flat and run a heavy duty extension cord down there.
Thanks guys! - Gazoo |
