1990 Club car batteries

[Bluescat]

I purchased a 1990 Club car and it came with a charger. What kind of batteries do I need and how many?

Basically six deep cycle lead acid 6 volt batteries. You can find them at Costco or sams club or the best are Trojans. Be sure to keep the terminals clean and fully charged in the off season!

Thank you VERY much! I've checked and that $700 worth of batteries! Is there a cheaper solution? Perhaps another type of battery for which you have to use a regular charger?

$700 for batteries is indeed a significant investment, but it's actually a decent deal. Liquid lead acid golf cart batteries are typically the most budget-friendly option when compared to alternatives like lithium ion or gel lead acid batteries. With lead acid batteries, you can use a regular charger, which saves you from investing in specialized charging equipment.

Batteries are the critical component of a carts functionality. Without the right batteries, the cart simply won't perform as expected. Think of batteries in an electric golf cart like you would an engine in a gas powered vehicle. Just as an engine provides the power needed to move a car forward, batteries store and supply the electrical energy required to drive the cart's motor propelling it forward. Without a reliable engine, a gas powered vehicle would struggle to move, just as an electric golf cart would be rendered immobile without dependable batteries. It's like attempting to drive a car with a lawn mower engine fitted under the hood. It just won't cut it! Batteries aren't just a small part of the system.. they're the lifeblood, the energy source that keeps your cart moving.

Thank you for the information! Since we've been using the wrong batteries initially, that might explain some of the anomalies we've experienced. I think this time we will invest in the correct batteries.

Yep installing the right batteries can make a big difference, but flipping it for something newer might be worth considering!

I've considered selling it but I'm concerned it might not have much value, especially with no batteries.
