Golf Cart Batteries

What Are The Must-Have Accessories For Golf Carts?

Essential golf cart accessories enhance functionality, safety, and convenience. Key items include heavy-duty seat covers for weather protection, sand bottles/buckets for course maintenance, emergency tool kits with tire-changing equipment, and LED lighting upgrades for visibility. Performance-enhancing components like brake pedal pads and motor controllers ensure reliability, while storage solutions such as golf bag racks optimize cargo capacity for clubs and gear.

Understanding Lithium Golf Cart Batteries – A Comprehensive Guide

Why prioritize seat covers for golf carts?

Seat protection ranks as a top priority—exposure to UV rays and rain accelerates fabric degradation. Heavy-duty Oxford cloth covers (230–310 Denier) provide waterproofing, resist fading, and offer custom fits for EZGO/Club Car models. Pro Tip: Opt for covers with non-slip backing to prevent shifting during sharp turns.

What makes sand bottles critical accessories?

Sand containers fulfill course etiquette requirements—repairing divots maintains turf integrity. Standard 2L bottles with mounting brackets fit most cart frames. A 72V cart’s average 35 mph speed creates wind resistance; weighted bases prevent spills. For example, EZGO-compatible models feature quick-release lids for one-handed operation during driving.

⚠️ Critical: Replace sand monthly—compacted material won’t flow properly during repairs.

How do lighting upgrades improve safety?

Beyond basic headlights, LED tail lights and turn signals reduce collision risks in low-visibility conditions. 12V systems require voltage converters, while 48V/72V carts need compatible 60–120W bulbs. Redway’s modular kits include brake-light triggers that activate during pedal release—a vital feature for group outings where sudden stops occur.

Are tool kits truly necessary?

Absolutely. Standard emergency kits should contain tire irons, a 2-ton hydraulic jack, and spare fuses. Why risk being stranded? Lithium battery carts particularly benefit from voltage testers—sudden power loss often stems from cell imbalances rather than empty charges.

How to Determine the Year of Your EZGO Golf Cart Using the Serial Number

Redway Battery Expert Insight

While accessories boost functionality, ensure electrical additions like lights or speakers don’t overload your battery. For lithium-powered carts, Redway recommends calculating total wattage—a 72V 100Ah battery safely supports 1,200W of accessories. Always integrate high-drain devices through the battery management system (BMS) to prevent voltage sag.

FAQs

Do all sand bottles fit any golf cart?

No—measure your cart’s rail spacing first. Club Car Precedent models typically need 12” bracket spacing versus EZGO’s 10.5”.

Can LED lights drain my battery overnight?

Quality kits with automatic shutoffs prevent this. Test parasitic draw—it shouldn’t exceed 0.5mA when parked.
