Has anybody seen this type of watering mechanism for their golf cart batteries?
How does it work? There is a nipple where you must connect something? I just purchased my cart and went to check the water level of the batteries this weekend and found this. Any advise on how to use?
Thats an auto fill system. I see this on forktruck batteries all the time. Yes there is a special connector. On forktrucks you connect and it fills each cell to the proper level and then stops running. I'm assuming it will work the same for cart batteries. It works really slick for multiple battery installations or multiple (6 or more) cell batteries.

^ I have that set-up on my golf cart in OZ. Almost everyone there has the same set-up. Really easy to maintain your batteries. You just need to have a water jug with the mating connection....and a tube long enough to set the water jug on your roof. Then watch the little wheel go around as the water fills all the cells in the batteries. when the wheel stops......unplug and cap the sources. Easy / Schmeezy.
You could go to Versatile Golf Carts store near BIR to get the jug set-up you need. Should not be an expensive thing.

I want to keep on top of the batteries so I get long life out of them. Carts are a great addition to the property as the quiet operation lets you enjoy the tranquility. Also, my wife loves the cart!

The other thing.....is to take care of the corrosion on your terminals. GET A CAN OF FLUID FILM at your local John Deere dealer.....or on-line. It's the very best terminal protection you can get. I spray the hold down clamps and etc with this stuff. CHEAP protection for this sort of thing. NEVER a problem with use.
FORE!

My golf course is selling 30 carts starting in 2 weeks. Prices are from $1,200-$1,800 depending on how new the batteries are. They are EZ GO 36 volt carts, most are 2003-2005 models I believe. I have spoken for one already, so they are down to 29 now!

I have spoken for one already, so they are down to 29 now! That's similar to the one I have MO. They are pretty good carts if they are the PDS models. I made the mistake of putting HD rear springs in mine when I lifted it. Now it rides a bit rough. I have owned mine for about ten years now.....and I love this thing for silently / scentlessly going to and from stands. My wife uses it quite often when she helps me with weed and mole control, etc. Best feature when working....easy on and off.
