Buy the best batteries...you do get what you pay for.
Regularly check the water level in the batteries. If low, add only enough water to cover the plates BEFORE recharging, then AFTER charging top off water level to about 1/2 inch below the full level. Overfilling will cause the acid to overflow and cause damage to the battery hold downs and even the vehicle frame in extreme cases
Regularly clean corrosion from the battery terminals. Use baking soda solution on the terminal ends, and spray with battery terminal protectant available at most auto stores.
Charge only as needed. With light use, once a week or even once every two weeks may be adequate. A fully charged golf cart battery set was designed for 36 to 54 holes of golf, then to be recharged. A round of golf is about 7 miles.
If you golf cart has a period of no use, keep the charged plugged in AND once a month unplug and re-plug the charger. This will allow the charger to update the charge reading and re-charge the battery as needed.
