To wire multiple batteries in a series you would just connect each batteries positive terminal to the next batteries negative terminal. Then continue this process for however many batteries to intend to connect together. After you have done so you will always have two terminals left over. One will be positive and one will be negative. Those terminals will reflect the new operating voltage of said battery bank. For example as shown in image above – most golf carts these days operate on 36 volt or 48 volts. Which can be achieved in a few ways depending on the batteries used. Whether 6 volt, 8 volt or 12 volt batteries. All of which will have different capacity and or range limitations.

How to test golf cart battery?
Overall voltage available, then voltage of each individual golf cart battery. While testing voltage I can also run a load test on each golf cart battery. Technically a 6 volt battery should register 6+ volts on the meter, and when placing a 200 Ah load on the battery it should maintain at least 5 volts for 10-15 seconds. This will determine the internal state of the battery in question. If it performs as mentioned the battery is good. I use this cheaper old school load tester for several reasons. One being I can adjust the load applied based on battery being tested. (Most small load testers will only apply about 50-60 amps to the battery at the flip of the switch. Secondly it has two separate meters, one for voltage and one for Amps applied. Lastly they are affordable – old school load testers have a relatively short life span when testing as many batteries as I do.

BatteryPete offers golf cart battery cable kits for all popular models. Bad connections or wire corrosion account for approx. 1/3 of the usual complaints from customers mentioning cart speed issues or available time in service between recharging.
