Check and Add Water To Golf Cart Batteries

[vipertblck]

What's the correct way to properly check and add water to the batteries in my electric 36 volt golf cart to keep them maintained. I've learned to keep water levels up to the meniscus point, but then Interstate said don't do that because adding water will dilute the mixture of water and acid, they claimed as long as the cells are submerged, you're ok.

What's your guys take on this?

As long as the cells are covered your fine. Always add water to a fully charged battery.

So if the lead grids stay submerged all year long, I'm good?

Yep. You will have to add water though. How much water depends on how often you charge the batteries.

Great! Glad I learned the correct way to go about this. Also, in the event my T-605's are a little weak come spring time, what battery do you guys recommend, and where can I get a good price on a set, any place in particular that everybody likes? I think I'd like to stick with Trojan as it seems the best option, that or maybe another brand that's equally as quality.

Trojan T-105 is a better battery than to T-605. Battery prices are all over the place so your best bet is shop around in your area.
