Tips for Picking the Right Golf Cart Batteries

Tips for Picking the Right Golf Cart Batteries

The batteries for your golf cart are something you should consider carefully – remember that you will want your golf cart to last for the duration of the course, which could be quite a long walk. You do not want the batteries to run out before you have finished 18 holes, so you must make the choice carefully.

The batteries for your golf cart are essentially the juice that keeps it moving, just like fuel for a car, and it is an important purchase if you want to enjoy your game.

What You Should Know About Batteries.

First of all you should know that the golf cart batteries are going to lose their charge quite easily even if they are just sitting in the golf cart in the off season. Because of this, you have to be sure that you are keeping your golf cart batteries charged up, even if that means coming in every few weeks to charge the batteries as they sit in your golf cart. This is important because the golf cart batteries will actually lose their ability to charge fully if you don’t charge them often. You have to charge them even when you aren’t using the golf cart.

Another important thing to remember is that it is important to keep your golf cart batteries clean. Under prolonged use, dirt and debris can quickly build up and damage the golf cart. Cleaning the batteries frequently will make sure that you can keep wear and tear down to a minimum level.

When you are buying golf cart batteries you need to pay close attention to the brand. There are simply some brands that are better than others, so you have to be sure that you have researched the different brands and that you know what is best for the place in which you live. There are some brands that are better for cold temperatures and some brands that work well in extreme heat. You have to be sure that you are buying golf cart batteries that work well with the environment, because your golf cart is going to be used outside all of the time.

When you buy your golf cart batteries, make sure that they come with a warranty, so that you can be confident it will be replaced if it fails sooner than could be reasonably expected. Golf cart batteries are expensive, and the assurance of a warranty will give you peace of mind that you are getting a good, quality product for your money.

Whether you have older, weaker batteries or have just installed brand new batteries, consider installing a Battery Life Saver (BLS) to keep your batteries “desulfated”. A golf cart battery can be extended by using The Battery Life Saver http://buybls.com which is a patented, electronic device that will desulfate a lead-acid golf cart battery such as the ones used in most all 36 or 48 volt golf carts. About 80% of lead acid batteries fail prematurely because of a buildup of lead sulfate on the plates. This buildup causes the golf cart battery to become unusable at approximately one-third of its natural life. The Battery Life Saver electronic desulfator dissolves this buildup, restoring the golf cart battery to full capacity. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VRHnJ5paR4c Just desulfate the golf cart battery with the Battery Life Saver (BLS).

Understanding Batteries and the Battery Life Saver (BLS) Electronic Device

The Battery Life Saver electronic device will extend the life of any lead-acid battery and can rejuvenate “dead” batteries to a like new condition. But how does it work? To understand the technology behind the BLS, we must first understand how a battery works.


How A Battery Works

In a normal battery we have three basic elements: one plate made of lead, an electrolyte of sulfuric acid and another plate made of lead oxide. When the battery is discharged, the sulfuric acid in the electrolyte reacts with the lead and lead oxide releasing electricity, forming lead sulfate. This leaves a watery electrolyte solution. When a battery is completely discharged, what is left is lead sulfate and water. When you recharge the battery, the electrical current causes the lead sulfate to break apart. This returns the system to the original elements of lead and lead oxide on the plates and sulfuric acid in the electrolyte, for the most part.

What’s the problem? Why do batteries fail?

When the battery is recharged, a small amount of lead sulfate maintains its sulfate configuration (sulfate crystal).

These sulfates crystals cannot be reconverted using a regular electric current. Every time the battery is discharged, more of these crystals are produced and the electrolyte solution becomes more watery. Like layers of snow on a garden they continue to accumulate until you can no longer see the garden. These crystals interfere with the flow of electricity in and out of the battery. The battery will take longer to charge and a charge will last less time. A perfectly good battery will seem dead because lead sulfate has built up on the plates.

The BLS is the Solution

The Battery Life Saver electronic device solves this problem by dissolving the buildup of lead sulfate crystals. The BLS sends a radio signal through the battery, targeting the lead sulfate crystals (even those that could not be dissolved by recharging), converting them back into lead and sulfuric acid. Each crystal is like a tiny radio receiver. In fact, when the radio was invented, a lead sulfate crystal was used for the receiver.

The BLS action gradually restores the battery back to its original condition and allows the electrical charge to be drawn from the battery.

Other Desulfators

Electronic and chemical desulfators have been on the market for years. How is the BLS different? The biggest difference is the BLS’s ability to target the whole range of sulfates that accumulate on the lead plates. As discussed above, regular electric current does not have the ability to do this. Electronic desulfators (commonly known as pulsers) send a high amount of voltage for a short period of time throughout the battery to knock down the crystals (similar to overcharging). They are unable to dissolve all the different types of sulfates. You can get some initial apparent improvement but the continued use of the other desulfators that knock down crystals cause two negative effects on the battery:

1.) If you continue to use the pulser, the crystals will continue to accumulate at the bottom of the battery which can eventually cause a short cell.
2.) The plates will become thinner and the sulfuric acid will become weaker because any lead sulfate that falls to the bottom of the battery cannot be recovered.
The Battery Life Saver electronic device dissolves the lead sulfate crystals that are covering the plates, converting them back into the original elements. It rejuvenates the sulfuric acid solution as well as the lead plates.

Stretching Your Golf Cart Battery Dollar

Battery Life Saver

Battery prices are rising!

To save money, a good strategy is to make batteries last as long as possible.

Golf cart owners today want batteries to last longer before they have to replace them. They want them to last longer on a charge. Golf cart owners today don’t just need carts that last 18 holes on the golf course. They are shoppers and commuters who use golf carts for errands, visiting and just plain getting around town. They want to go the distance and back.

The problem is, over time, battery operated golf carts slow down. They don’t go as far; they don’t hold as much charge. Lead sulfate builds up on the battery plates. In fact, 75% -80% of lead acid batteries — the kind used in golf carts — fail prematurely because of the formation of lead sulfate crystals on the plates. If batteries sit in disuse, it makes matters worse, as crystal buildup makes batteries unusable in a matter of months, especially in hot weather.

Chuck Van Breemen invented Battery Life Saver to protect the environment by extending battery life and reducing the power needed to recharge batteries. It is an electronic device that easily attaches to a battery bank. You clip it on, then forget it; it will keep lead sulfate from forming. It also can be used to restore “dead,” sulfate-ridden batteries to their original condition.

The device uses Wave2 Battery Restoration Technology, which dissolves the lead sulfate crystals, restoring electrical flow. If you are technically inclined, Wave2 is a “square wave,” with enough power and variability to excite all the frequencies of lead sulfate crystals and convert them back to lead and sulfuric acid. This restores the battery to its original condition and allows the electrical charge to be drawn from the battery.

Sterling R. of Sun City Center, Florida, drives two miles every day to the golf course, plays 18 holes and drives back. He put new batteries in his golf cart just before he bought Battery Life Saver. Over the course of his trip, his fuel gage would go down to l/2 full. After he began using Battery Life Saver, his gage only went down to 3/4 full. This means he is using 1/4 of the power available in the battery. Great savings all around!

Today golfers and short distance golf cart drivers are stretching their dollars by using Battery Life Saver. It can be used as well on cars, tractors, trucks, lawn mowers and airplanes.

8 Ways to Improve Lead-Acid Battery Life

Lead-acid batteries have become a necessity in today’s society. Our cars, trucks and recreational vehicles all use batteries to start their engines. Forklifts, electric chairs, and off-grid power systems need lead-acid batteries to operate. Lead-acid batteries can be a hassle to replace and expensive, with some batteries costing up to $5000. To get the most out of your lead-acid batteries, follow these simple procedures.

1. Regularly charge your batteries. Let them fully charge before disconnecting the charger.
2. Especially in cold environments, be sure to keep your batteries charged. If you leave an uncharged battery exposed to freezing temperatures, the battery will freeze and crack.
3. In warm environments, store cars and batteries in cool places or at least away from direct sun exposure.
4. Water batteries regularly if they are the unsealed type. Use distilled water only.
5. Do not equalize or overcharge your batteries as it deteriorates the integrity of the plates.
6. Do not use solid or liquid additives in your batteries.
7. PLEASE, DO NOT empty out the fluid in the battery and replace it with new battery acid. It is very harmful to our environment and it is not effective in the long term.

Use a good electronic desulfator that will help to eliminate hard sulfates from the plates. The life and performance of a battery can be increased be keeping the hard sulfates off the plates.

The Patented, Battery Life Saver has been designed especially for that purpose.

Whether you have a golf cart, electric vehicle, fork lift, boat, farm equipment, solar/wind application, truck or RV, The Battery Life Saver has a model that will work for you.

How to Get the Most from your Lead-Acid Battery

By Emanuel Hillmann

We all benefit from using lead-acid batteries. Our cars and golf cars will go nowhere without them. Many niceties of civilization maintained outside electrical grid systems like a refrigerator or TV in our RV would not be possible without batteries. Of course, wind and solar systems depend on battery banks. Those batteries can cost us a pretty penny to replace and most of the time last way below their supposed life expectancy.

How do I get the most out of my batteries?

To better understand what to do we will need to answer a couple questions:

a. What is a battery? A battery is a device in which chemical energy is transformed into electrical energy. That energy can be used in a controlled manner.

b. How does a battery work? In a normal battery we have three basic elements: one plate made of lead, an electrolyte of sulfuric acid and another plate made of lead oxide. When the battery is discharged, the sulfuric acid in the electrolyte reacts with the lead and lead oxide releasing electricity, forming lead sulfate. This leaves a watery electrolyte solution. When a battery is completely discharged, what is left is lead sulfate and water. When you start recharging the battery, the lead sulfate is broken apart by the electric current. This returns the system to the original elements: lead and lead oxide on the plates and sulfuric acid in the electrolyte, for the most part.

We said for the most part because an incomplete recharge is going to leave behind some lead sulfate. The next time you use the energy from the battery, the newly formed sulfate is going to attach to the left over sulfates making stronger sulfates. The problem is that a normal battery recharge is not going to be able to break them down completely. So you will have more and more sulfates that now are not breaking up and gradually are shortening the life of your batteries.

What to do?

First make sure you recharge your batteries completely and regularly even if you do not use your vehicle.

You can use a good electronic desulfator. It can dissolve the otherwise hard to eliminate sulfates, extending the battery life.

After testing many powders and liquids sold to eliminate sulfates, I would not recommend using those kinds of substances.

Overcharging, also called equalizing is another action that is not recommended. It will end up killing your batteries in the long run despite any apparent immediate improvements.

As we mentioned earlier there are chemical reactions charging and discharging batteries. Heat accelerates those reactions causing a battery to discharge faster. It is important to protect your batteries as much as possible from high temperatures. It is better to store in a cool place. Park your cars in a shadowy place and avoiding as much as possible the direct sun.

If heat can dramatically reduce the battery life, ice can destroy it completely. Do not ignore icy weather. If you are going to leave your car or golf car for months in a place that can be hit by extensive freezing temperatures or you expect a freeze, make sure to fully charge your batteries before the freezing temperatures start. If you are going to leave for months at the time a trickle charger is very useful to maintain batteries in a good condition. The risk of a discharged battery hit by freezing temperatures is that the water formed by the discharge of the battery when frozen can crack the battery, destroying it.

Talking about water, if your batteries are the unsealed types make sure to regularly water them.

The worst enemy of your batteries is neglect. Batteries well cared for last two times longer than neglected ones.

Don’ts

1. Do not equalize and/or overcharge your batteries.

2. Do not store your batteries in hot places or under direct sun exposure.

3. Do not use solid or liquid additives in your batteries.

4. Do not neglect to water and only use distilled water. Any other water contains minerals that are bad for your battery.

5. Do not neglect to charge regularly.

6. Do not expose directly your batteries to very low temperatures to prevent any risk of cracking.

Do’s

1. Regularly charge your batteries. Let them to get fully charged before disconnecting the charger.

2. Use a good electronic desulfator that will help to eliminate hard sulfates from the plates.

3. Store cars and batteries in cool places or at least away from direct sun exposure.

4. Water batteries regularly if they are the unsealed type using distilled water.

5. Protect batteries from being directly exposed to extreme cold weather.

These simple rules will help you to get the most out of your batteries.

Reviving Dead Golf Cart Batteries

The Battery Life Saver electronic device can be used to revive a dead battery that has accumulated too much sulfate build up or has been allowed to sit unused for a long period of time.
 However, it will not work on a battery that has a shorted or open cell. 
This procedure works for a car-auto, deep cycle, marine and all other lead acid battery applications.

1. A dead battery is one that will not hold a charge, and in some cases, they are unable to take a charge.
2. It can take several days to a couple weeks to revive a dead battery, depending on how far south it is and how often you cycle(charge and discharge) the battery with BLS attached.
   
3. For a 12 volt battery, you will need the BLS-12/24-B and a good automotive battery charger, preferably with a rating of 6 to 10 amps. For batteries that cannot take a charge, it is best to use an old fashioned battery charger, not one of the newer high tech Smart Battery Chargers . The newer smart battery chargers will not turn on if the voltage of the battery is too low. This does not mean that the battery is completely dead, just that the charger will not turn on. If you do not have a manual charger available, you can jump start the bad battery(just like jumpstarting your car battery) to get the battery voltage high enough for the smart charger to turn on (contact us for more information on this procedure).
   
4. The key to this procedure is to cycle (charge and discharge) the battery with the BLS attached. The BLS gradually dissolves the sulfate crystals with every cycle. The Battery Life Saver works from the power of the battery. You can either let the BLS discharge your battery or add some type of load(i.e. a light) to help discharge the battery.
5. Step 1: Connect both the BLS and the charger to the battery, paying attention to the polarity.
6. Step 2: Charge the battery with the BLS attached until the voltage is at least 12 volts or completely charged.
   
7. Step 3: Leave the Battery Life Saver connected to the battery without the battery charger for a period of time(if it is a single 12 volt battery, 20 hours should be enough time to discharge with the BLS). DO NOT LET THE VOLTAGE GO BELOW 9.5 VOLTS.
   
8. Step 4: When the battery voltage is between 9.5 and 10 repeat step 2 and 3.
   
9. Work back and forth between 2 and 3 until the battery comes back up to operational condition. If you cycle(charge and discharge) the battery every day with the BLS connected, the battery should come back sometime between 3 days and 2 weeks.
