Battery tips

A watering system is only for flooded batteries, and it still happens after the charge, with distilled water. Match the cart by make, model, year, and…

A hydrometer reads flooded cells with the caps off, after a charge, by someone who knows the scale. It does not read AGM and it does not read lithium.

DC volts, red to positive, black to negative, one battery at a time, then the whole pack. Key off, charger unplugged. Match the cart by make, model, year…

Grease goes on after the lug is clean and tight. It slows corrosion. It does not fix a loose nut. Match the cart by make, model, year, and voltage before…

Replace a solenoid that clicks and will not hold, or that is welded so the cart creeps, or that is undersized for a high-amp controller. Match the cart by…

Pack voltage that holds under a safe load, with a cart that does not move, points at the contactor and the switches. Match the cart by make, model, year…

Replace an open fuse with the same type after you find the short. Foil and a bigger number are how carts burn. Match the cart by make, model, year, and…

Bedrock includes a round meter. Plug it in the way the kit shows, and give it a 12-volt supply from the converter if that is what the diagram says.

Match the new charger to the chemistry and the pack voltage. A lithium onboard charger replaces the lead onboard charger. It does not sit beside it.

A crimp has to be the right size for the cable and the stud, pulled until the strands are captured, not soldered into a cold blob that snaps.
