Golf Cart Battery Reviews And Buying Guide
Some deep-cycle batteries won’t last through nearly as many recharge cycles as they’ve listed on the package. In fact, more than a few cells you find online these days are fakes. While this might sound surprising, you’ve probably heard about fakes made overseas for some time now and it might make some sense that the problem has spread to the world of batteries. People will sell the illusion of high performance.
Fortunately, Performance System Janitorial offers genuine deep cycle golf cart batteries that you can trust. Regardless of what make and model you drive, we can hook you up with the right kind of cells to keep it going longer. Check out some of these popular models for the golf course.
They’re also all great choices for anyone who uses their golf cart for something other than just golfing or lasting a long time.
Continental Golf Cart Batteries
Continental has produced a series of deep-cycle flooded golf cart batteries, which last longer because they’re designed to be deeply discharged. Drivers who’ve had problems with other batteries that develop a so-called memory effect shouldn’t have that issue with these. Continental delivers high-quality volt batteries.
Battery quality is normally determined by the underlying chemistry. Since the chemical makeup of these batteries is free of unnecessary contaminants and other substances, they’re capable of standing up to much deeper discharges than would otherwise be possible.
Note that these are meant to serve as drop-in replacements, so you shouldn’t have to do any modifications to the actual holder that the batteries sit in. Simply match the dimensions to your cart and you can normally swap them out in just a few minutes.
More than likely, you won’t need much in the way of tools to do so. A battery lifter and perhaps a wire brush as well as a few simple hand tools are more than enough to swap one of these batteries in and get back to moving.
Continental Battery 2GC110
• Six volts
• 210 amp-hours
• Deep cycle certified
• Flooded design
• 65 lbs.
• Sold in packs of four units
Those who are running their cart off of a traditional flooded battery will certainly love these designs. They have become increasingly popular with those who use their golf carts for work.
For instance, if you take a golf cart to your job site as a result of living in a so-called golf cart community or a manufactured housing neighborhood, this is a great high-drain heavy duty choice for you. It should hold up to a fair amount of usage even if you tend to drive at what might be considered a higher speed for a golf cart.
Continental Battery 2GC1275
• 12 volts
• 140 amp-hours
• Deep cycle certified
• Flooded design
• 65 lbs.
• Sold in packs of four units
Finding 8 volt batteries can be difficult, since it seems like many carts are either 6 or 12 volt wired. That makes the CR-150 a coveted piece of hardware for those who are trying to restore a cart that's designed to accept this kind of input.
That being said, that doesn't at all mean that this is somehow a weak battery pack. In fact, it's deep cycle certified just like any of the others that you might see being sold by Performance Systems Janitorial. If you're looking for a cell for an 8 volt cart, then this is a real option from Crown.
Those with 6 volt carts may also want to consider Crown's other offering, the CR-260. As the name suggests, it provides 260 amp-hours of power, so you won't need to charge it that often and might find that it has a little more punch to get over hills.
While the engineering isn't exactly the same as on the 2GC110, it's fair to call this model a 12 volt version of that other battery pack. It's certainly every bit as strong in spite of the difference in amp-hour numbers.
This is at least partially due to the fact that it's designed to work with carts that draw twice as much voltage. You should find that you still get quite a bit of usage out of it even if you don't customarily use your golf cart on an actual course.
