Safety First!
Let’s head to the garage together. Let’s first talk safety, nothing serious here but if you do decide to install on the dash of your golf cart, power tools will make the job a lot easier.
What you will need
You will need a few tools and some supplies for this little job installing your golf cart battery gauge.
Step by Step – How to Install Your New Golf Cart Battery Meter
First let’s determine where you intend to mount the golf cart battery meter?
A look-over first
We will want to look over the golf cart first because with older carts you will want to check over the battery bank and all connections for corrosion and deterioration. To insure good performance you will always want to replace all cables that need it.
Get the right batteries
The EZGO Medalist and Txt carts are based on a 36 volt battery bank. Consisting of six 6 volt golf cart batteries. We will be installing a new set of our PowerPro Golf Cart batteries. One of the few batteries available today that are still manufactured in the good ole’ US of A.
Do a test
I always start with a quick golf cart battery test of the system in general. 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.
Check the connections
Once I determine the batteries are in need of replacement I begin the relatively straight forward process. First I will make note of any obvious connection issues (battery cables or terminals with corrosion or defect), replacing anything that does not look fit for continued use or if I feel it will effect the performance of the cart.
Retaining system
Then I remove retaining system, in this carts case it is just the basic plastic spacer/retainer hold down. Secured by two nuts usually 9/16′. Next I will advise you to take your cell phone and snap a few pictures of the battery bank. This will help you in the re-install phase placing the battery jumper cables in the correct location.
Pull out the old batteries
Next you can begin pulling out the old batteries. Once complete I will inspect the battery area and frame for obvious signs of leakage and corrosion buildup.
New batteries go in
Next I will begin to install the new batteries, and reconnect the battery cables to their respective locations. After doing so I will also apply a corrosion preventative to the terminal connections on each individual battery.
How to read a golf cart battery meter?
To best way to read your battery meter, is to drive your golf cart up a hill. Push the pedal down as far as you can to observe how far down the needle goes . A needle in the red zone indicates that you need to recharge your batteries.
What does a golf cart battery meter tell you?
Golf cart battery meters tell you when to recharge your batteries, so you do not end up draining them completely. There are two types of golf cart battery meters – Analog and Digital (usually LED). The analog meter uses voltage to move its needle to indicate the level of charge.
How many volts does a golf cart battery need?
If your golf cart battery won’t hold a charge at all, and you see the meter flashing, this is cause for concern. EzyGo golf carts generally need at least 24 volts in the battery bank; otherwise the charger won’t even start. If you’re using a 12 volt charger, you’ll need to charge 2 batteries at a time to get the 24 volts of power.
Why is my Ezygo charger flashing red?
This could be due to a defective battery charger.#N#First make sure the connections are clean and attached tightly to the battery. You’ll then want to isolate each battery and check the voltage of each.
What does the red zone on a battery mean?
The white area labeled CHG indicates that your battery is charged. The red zone to the right of CHG indicates that your battery is overcharged. Green zone indicates that your battery is sufficiently charged and is good to go.
What does a digital meter do?
A digital meter uses LED to display the state of charge. A series of lights are shown on the display indicating the level of charge. More bars or lights indicate more charge while fewer bars or lights indicate a lower level of charge.
How many terminals does a digital meter have?
The digital meters have three terminals in place of two, labelled 1,2 and 4. Connect 1 to the main battery bank’s positive terminal and 2 to its negative terminal. Connect 4’s positive terminal to the positive side or the “switched” side of the key switch to make use of the LED function of the meter.
