– The golf cart LSV has an onboard charger and comes with a cord so you can plug it into a standard household 3-prong electrical outlet. Check with vacation property if there is a place to plug cart into. An extension cord is available upon request before delivery.

– The golf cart LSV will need to be plugged in each night and allowed to charge overnight so that it’s ready to go for your rides the next day.

Can I drive the cart until the batteries are completely dead?
No. Driving the golf cart LSV until the batteries are completely dead will not only cause you to be stranded somewhere, it can also cause severe damage to the battery pack, sometimes to the point of needing a full battery pack replacement, which is an expensive repair.

What if the battery dies while out?
-The golf carts have automatic parking brake. So, if completely dead the cart will need to be plugged in to a nearby outlet with an extension cord to give it enough charge. Once it has enough juice if you lift up the back seat you can flip switch into tow mode and push cart. Do not try to tow cart if the brakes are locked this will damage the cart. If not able to charge cart you will need to either contact the store at 321-477-3080 or a tow company. The customer is responsible for $25 fee if SCCR personnel must come out and tow fee if one is called.
