Winter’s halfway point is here—and whether you tucked your golf cart away with care or haven’t quite gotten around to it yet, now is the perfect time to make sure it’s protected for the rest of the season. A little attention today can prevent surprises down the fairway.

Why Mid-Winter Check-Ups Matter

•  Battery self-discharge occurs even when disconnected, especially with lead-acid batteries
• Temperature swings can affect tire pressure, seals, and fluids
• Unexpected moisture may find its way into your storage space
• Pests sometimes seek shelter in quiet, covered vehicles

The 15-Minute Mid-Season Check

✅ Battery Check

• Lead-acid batteries: Should be stored fully charged. If below full charge, recharge to 100% before continuing storage.
• Lithium batteries: Store at 40–60% charge in a cool, dry place. Avoid long-term storage at full charge.

Always disconnect the main negative terminal for extended storage.

✅ Tires & Storage Position

Inflate tires to the manufacturer's recommended PSI or 10% above to prevent flat spots.

If possible, lift the cart using jack stands to completely remove weight from tires.

If you storaged your golf cart outdoor with cover, lift and air it out periodically to prevent moisture buildup.

✅ Cover & Environment

• Ensure your cover is breathable, waterproof, and UV-resistant. Avoid plastic tarps that trap condensation.
• Clear any snow, leaves, or debris on or around the cart.
• Verify that water isn’t pooling underneath and that the storage area remains dry.

Quick Review

Battery care:

Lead-acid - Fully charge, then disconnect.

Lithium - Charge to 40–60%, then disconnect and store indoors if possible.

Inflate tires to proper pressure or lift the cart to avoid sidewall damage.

Use a fitted, breathable golf cart cover—never a plastic tarp—to protect from moisture and debris.

Plan Your Cart’s Comeback

About 6–8 weeks before your first spring round:

Reconnect batteries and charge fully before first use.

l Check brakes, lights, and steering during a slow, initial test drive.

l For gas carts: Check fuel lines, add fresh gas if needed, and inspect fluids.
