Your Custom Golf Car And Its Electrical Systems

Custom golf cars can be gas powered or electric. Most common among golf cart owners, however, are the electric golf carts. The primary reason for this is because they are environment-friendly and very convenient for them because they no longer need to go to a gas station for refueling. And because of this, electric golf carts are most popular among the elderly and seniors.
Seniors are one of the common owners of golf carts. They use this as their primary mode of transportation because of its convenience. Plus, they do not travel long distances and are only often driving around town. Thus, electric golf cars suitably fit their needs.

All About Electric Custom Golf Cars

Both the gas-powered and electric golf cars have their own advantages and benefits. On the other hand, electric golf cars are more popular primarily because it is easy to use and maintain. Similarly, with gas-powered golf cars, electric golf carts can be used in different environments and for various purposes. They can be used in the woods for hunting, to tour amusement parks, they can be used as transportation for the maintenance crew in zoos and they can be used to get around the neighborhood.
Electric golf cars are designed to have a long lifespan, especially if properly maintained and well taken care of. Primarily, owners should perform routine checks and overall inspections. This will allow the owner to find small problems before they develop into more severe and costly problems. This will also ensure that the golf cart is always in tip-top condition, keeping its users and owners safe at all times.

How To Care For Your Electric Custom Golf Cars

Here are some guidelines that you might want to follow when doing routine checks on your electric golf cart.

1. Regularly check electric connectors and ensure they are not loose. Keep in mind that loose electric connectors can quickly heat up and if not resolved immediately can melt lead, start a fire or cause an explosion; thus, causing injury to anyone using the golf cart and putting the life of the owners at risk.
2. Before doing anything on the electrical system, always disconnect the positive and negative power leads. Failure to this may result in shorting and overloading the controller systems. This is a safety precaution to prevent injuries should accidents happen when you are working with the electrical system of your custom golf cars. In addition to potential injuries, you can also damage your golf car if you do not follow necessary safety precautions.
3. Make sure the battery is disconnected. Keep in mind that switching off the golf car does not guarantee that all components of the golf car are off and that there is no more electricity flowing through the systems. After switching off the golf car, it is necessary that you disconnect the battery first before you start with your maintenance routine. Aside from damaging your golf car, it can also start a fire.
4. Remove all your jewelry before starting any work on your golf car. Jewelry can put you at risk of being electrocuted. Even if you are sure that you have disconnected all power connections, it is still necessary that you remove your jewelry for your safety.
5. Double check all connections. Before starting any repairs, you need to double check all connections to ensure that everything has been removed. You also need to check that all connections are tight and secure before starting up your golf car. If you see any burned or damaged connections, do not start the golf car and seek professional assistance.
