Westend, with my limited access to the cart and only those opportunities to charge it, is there a different way to do it? Other than trickle charge, solar or anything like that while I'm gone. It's in storage so neither is an option. I sincerely appreciate everyone's feedback.
When I worked on them at golf courses, the best regimen was to put them all on chargers except when in use. That delivered the best longevity. If you have a battery set that is at 80% SOC, you use it, you charge them overnight, and go out for a round of golf, and leave it parked at 80%, you'll diminish the longevity by about 1/3.
A small solar module as a trickle charger might prove to be a good thing to use.
