Why would a golf cart battery bubble?
Charging or over-charging
Why want the battery stay charged on a gas powered golf cart?
Either the charging system has failed or the battery is bad.
Up grade 36 volt golf cart to 48 volts?
You will have to change the cart motor to one that operates on 48 volts DC and then add one more 12 volt battery (identical to the exsisting) in series with the batteries that are in the cart now.
How do you wire 12 volt to phone charger to 36 volt golf cart?
If your golf cart is 36 volts it is probably three 12 volt batteries in series. To pick off 12 volts from the carts power source using one of the 12 volt batteries. Make sure the polarity is correct to the phone charger. If the charging unit is like the ones used in vehicles the center pin is the positive point.

How do you tell the life of a golf cart battery?
Golf Cart batteries for electric cars are rated in minutes, voltage, and amps. They are tested with a discharge machine and hydrometer. You can use your meter on the charger to kind of guess: If the charger (on a 36 volt system) comes on and the needle goes to 18-20 - that's good. After a few (3-5) minutes it should start to slowly drop back down to 15-16 amps - that's still good. After about 10-15 minutes it should be below 10 amps - still good. After 30 minutes it should be at 2 amps - and that is a good set! If the charger comes on and only goes to 16 amps or less that is not good. If the charger comes on and goes to 18-20 amps and stays there for an hour that's not too good. If the amps drop back to 2 amps within an hour that's better. If the charger stays at 18-20 amps for two hours then that's is normally bad. If the charger stays at 16-20 amps for more then 3 hours then you got some junk batteries. Golf Cart batteries for a gas car are rated in cold cranking amps, and volts. They are tested just like a car battery.
Can you leave an electric golf cart plugged in all the time?
Yes, just about all of them have an automatic shut off for the charging system so they do not overcharge. It's a good idea to exercise the batteries regularly though.
Can hook up 12 volt battery inline to charge with other batteries to run radio This is on EZGO golfcart 36 volt system?
It would take 3 batteries of 12 volts each to get 36 volts. You would connect the negative pole to the positive pole. Then you would have 36 volts. Make sure you connect positive to positive and negative to negative on your golf cart. Otherwise, you can ruin everything.
How do you install 12 volt lights on 48 volt cart?
If your cart has 4, 12 volt batteries in series to make up the 48 volts, just connect the 12 volt lights across one of the batteries.
How do you charge golf cart batteries with 12 volt charger and how do you hook it up to the batteries still in the golf cart?
Not being sure of your golf cart voltage, I will give it a try. Count the caps on on batteries, each cap is two volts, so if you have three caps per battery, you have a 6 volt battery. Now count the batteries and multiply by battery voltage, 6 batteries times 6 volts equals a 36 volt system, and so on. You may only charge 12 at time with your charger, so you will have to remove a few battery to battery cables. The cables start with a positive post go to the main system of the cart, with it's neg post connected to the pos. post of the next battery in line, a so on until the last battery in line neg. post goes to the main system of the cart, making a full circle. You must separate the batteries in to 12 volt groups with the main system cables discounted from the main system to prevent damage to it. Remove the neg. cable first, and install it last, safety thing. Need more help contact me through my board and I will try to help.

Why will 6v golf cart batteries not stay charged if they are new?
You said "stay charged if new" - Did you use the cart? If so that is kind of how the cart works - You use it and recharge it. You said new batteries - Have they gone through the "break in" period (about 100 charging cycles)? If you did not use the cart then are you using an automatic charger and how long does it take to "not stay charged" or for the charge to go away? If you did not use the cart then I suspect the automatic charger may kick on and off as it needs to (like once every 7-30 days). If the charger has been turning on and off daily then there is a problem. Is the charging handle (from charger) damaged? Is the charging plug (on golf cart) damaged? What is the brand, year, model, and type of golf cart (Example: E-Z-Go 1997 TXT Electric 36 volt)? What is the brand, model, and type of charger (Example: Powerwise II Automatic). Is the charging handle making good contact (Snap in) with the cart - Do you hear a click about one to three seconds after you snap it in? If you do, then that is the charger "shaking hands" with the golf cart and basically saying "I sure would like to charge you up if you want". The charger would then turn on with the above example cart/charger (E-Z-Go/Powerwise) REVIEW - I said "Snap" then "Click" and finally "Charger turns on" The whole process can take up to 2 -10 seconds. A damaged charging handle or cart plug may keep repeating the "clicking" and "charger on" thing. Is the drain caused by a short or bad battery? Battery: Use safety glasses, gloves, and a taped wrench (electrical tape wrapped over boxed half of wrench) to take off the negative and positive cable of the battery bank (search youtube video for help). Let the cart set overnight to see if the cart loses the charge. If it does then it may be a hard (or junk) battery & that will also cause an automatic charger to stay on high amps (needle in red zone on charger's meter) for a long time (over an hour) during charge. [This may high amp thing may also take place when breaking in a new set of batteries but not after two hours.] Short or drain: If the batteries retained the charge with the cables unhooked over night then it may be a short (drain on the batteries). The short must be corrected or you may also have a fire hazard! If you are not sure how to trace a short then get the cart to someone who can without plugging the cart to the charger.
