Battery Care
WARNING:
Battery electrolyte is poisonous, dangerous, and can cause severe burns. It
contains sulfuric acid. Avoid contact with skin, eyes, or clothing.
Antidotes:
•
External: Flush with water.
•
Internal: Call a physician immediately. Drink large quantities of water or milk.
•
Eyes: Flush with water for 15 minutes and get prompt medical attention.
Batteries produce explosive gases. Keep sparks, flames, and cigarettes away from battery. Ventilate
when charging or using in an enclosed space. Always shield eyes when working near batteries.
WARNING:
Keep out of reach of children.
Eight 6-volt deep cycle batteries provide power for your electric golf car and must be properly
maintained and recharged for maximum performance and service life.
To maintain your batteries:
1|
Clean the tops of the batteries with a solution of baking soda and water, as necessary, to
remove corrosion.
CAUTION:
Do not allow cleaning solution to enter battery cells.
2|
Check the fluid level before and after charging.
Before charging:
Only add distilled water if fluid is below the top of the plates, and then add just
enough to cover plates.
After charging:
Add distilled water carefully until the water level is ¼ to ½ inches up to the plate or
at the ¼ and 3/8 position in the level indicator. Adding properly distilled water can help to prevent
the water from boiling after charging.
