It is imperative to get your golf cart ready for the winter months. In addition to safeguarding your investment, proper winter storage will guarantee that your golf cart remains operational come springtime. Cold weather and months of inactivity without proper maintenance can cause battery troubles, rust, and other mechanical issues. We'll go over all the necessary procedures in this tutorial to help you store your golf cart safely throughout the winter.
It is imperative to give your golf cart a thorough cleaning before putting it away for the winter. Over time, corrosion can be caused by dirt, dust, and moisture, particularly in the winter months.
One of the most important parts of winter storage is battery maintenance. You may avoid your battery losing charge or sustaining irreparable harm by giving it the proper care during the off-season.

Maintaining your tires during winter storage is essential to preventing damage. Inflating the cart properly will help avoid flat patches, which can happen if it is left still for an extended amount of time.
Winterizing your fuel system is a crucial step in preventing engine damage if your golf cart runs on gas.
Your golf cart's condition over the winter can be greatly impacted by where and how you park it.
Prior to winter storage, golf cart accessories including lighting, mirrors, and electronics should be serviced.
Even when your cart is put away for the winter, it's a good idea to give it a once-over to make sure everything is functioning properly.
Yes, all batteries eventually naturally self-discharge, but the pace at which lithium batteries deplete is noticeably faster than that of lead-acid batteries. Since lithium batteries only lose 2% of their charge every month, they are the best choice for winter storage. Conversely, lead-acid batteries have a significantly faster rate of discharge.
Lead-acid batteries may completely drain throughout the winter if left unchecked, thus making it impossible for you to recharge them in time for spring use. Any battery's rate of discharge is influenced by temperature, however lithium-ion batteries lose very little energy in storage. They don't require care for up to 12 months, or the duration of the offseason.
Although it is permissible in theory to leave lithium batteries on the charger throughout the winter, it is advisable to disconnect them and place the car in tow mode. Over time, the battery may be gradually depleted by the fact that many drivers neglect to put their cars in TOW mode after disconnecting.
While some people contend that leaving batteries plugged in is OK, it's typically not advised to leave any battery-operated item plugged in to a charger for a prolonged amount of time. This idea also holds true for cellphones, golf carts, and other electrical devices that use rechargeable batteries.
When charging batteries in cold weather, lead-acid and lithium batteries need to be handled carefully. Batteries should be charged more slowly when the temperature drops. The charge current for lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) batteries must be lowered to 0.1C while charging in temperatures below 32°F.
To avoid irreversible damage to the battery, the charge current should be reduced to 0.05C if the temperature falls below 14°F.
During winter storage, lithium golf cart batteries often only need to be checked once every three months due to their low drain rate. On the other hand, lead-acid batteries need to be checked more regularly—every two to three weeks—to make sure they're still fully charged. For example, there is minimal need to charge the Power Queen lithium golf cart battery during the winter because of its 1%–3% monthly discharge rate.
Lithium batteries should be partially charged to around 50% SOC before storing for optimal performance. As an alternative, you can fully charge them; however, it's crucial to avoid storing batteries that are less than 50% of the way charged. Just connect the batteries in and let it charge until the charger shuts off if you have an automatic charger.

Certainly, it's a good idea to disconnect the batteries from the car or other loads and to turn them off when not in use for long. This guarantees that the battery maintains its best state of performance without requiring regular maintenance. To properly preserve their charge, store your golf cart batteries in a cool, dry location away from the vehicle and lay them on a wooden pallet or shelf as opposed to the ground.
In every way, lithium batteries perform better than lead-acid batteries, which greatly improves the whole golf cart driving experience. Despite having a higher initial cost, lithium batteries are nevertheless a wise investment due to their many benefits. Lithium-ion batteries, which have a lifespan of up to 10 years and don't need to be refilled with water like lead-acid batteries, are significantly more durable.
One myth that is frequently spread is that lithium batteries have trouble in cold climates. Even though all batteries function less well in colder climates, Power Queen LiFePO4 batteries maintain approximately 90% of their rated capacity at 32°F (0°C).
When your electric golf cart is taken out of winter storage, it will be in perfect shape if you give it the proper maintenance. You may prolong the life of your cart's battery for many years by using the right tools and exercising prudence.
