Will this product resist battery acid? I am looking for something to put under my golf cart.

Not sure but I doubt it. It doesn't have any "backing" and in the case of extreme spills it actually allows some seepage once it gets saturated. It works great for oil and coolant drips in my situation, but I don't think it would stand up to anything corrosive.

Yes. I use it for my golf cart and it withstands all kinds of chemicals. I had one battery in my cart leak and it left no mark on the mat. I just rinsed off the mat and that was it.

I doubt it. I'm not the manufacturer, but it's really just a short-pile heavy-duty carpet. Not much out there that's going to resist battery acid.

Complicated question. You need to figure out how much power your appliance use and how long you plan to use them each day. I am using 4 6 volt golf cart battery's. All together I have 464 amp hours. Batteries in parallel and in series. Do not use regular car battery. There is a formula out there, i don't know it.

If a lead Acid battery is not kept charged, it will fail quickly. My experience is if left uncharged it will fail in a few months. There are low cost float charger meant to keep the battery charged; used for boat and motorcycle batteries in the off season.

I used this in my son's car but with 12 VDC circuits. I know you said you are going to use this for some auxillary circuits in your golf cart and although the cart is 36 VDC, the aux circuits will be 12 VDC, which means you will be tapping off one of the batteries or adding a dedicated Aux battery - correct? If so, no problem at all, just remember this unit is NOT water proof and you will just need to size the fuse to protect the load. I actually removed my unit after thinking about it further and installed the Blue Sea push button reset breakers. Built a small panel with the breakers and a few 12 VDC power supplies, along with some indicator lights and such. Blue sea makes a really neat prefab panel with the breakers and toggle switches - little pricey but everything is water proof (have to buy box or provide cut out separately). Hope this helps

I looked mine over, I don't see anything voltage range marking. Many have posted the current limit. Amperage is quite different from voltage. I agree that your golf cart shouldn't pull any where near the 100A continuous limit. A 36V nominal system is not likely to exceed 43.5V even during charging cycles so I'd say the internal contactors should be able to handle that. That said I haven't torn one apart so there's always the possibility they made some wonky design decision. The external taps certainly have enough seperation. Bottom line, even if it doesn't work, as long sa this is wired in series with the motor, there's no real safety hazard. I looked mine over, I don't see anything voltage range marking.

The acid spilling is always a concern. However these batteries are very well packaged. If you took the battery with box and wrapped it well in packing material then boxed it up I would think you would not have any problems.

From their web page: "The Little Switch is rated at 100 amps continuous service and 500 amps for 10 second surges..." At 36 volts, you are not going to exceed the dielectric of the materials that isolate the poles on it unless a conductive media is introduced between the poles. (salt water...) I see no issue working on your golf cart. http://www.flamingriver.com/index.php/products/c0015/s0008/FR1002

That should work. I use mine to maintain six 6 volt batteries in my golf cart. However I wouldn't use this device as a charger. I think it would take quite awhile to charge batteries that are low. It's main function is to maintain a charge. You might call the company. They were real helpful in answering some questions I had when I bought mine.

OldAmazonian says:~{Gadgets like this can typically be kept topped up with a jumper from the car's lighter socket to the gadget's lighter socket. The better cords for the purpose have fuses in their plugs. The car's own voltage regulator maintains adequate level for intermittently charging the sealed lead acid battery without damage.}~While this more than likely should work, I'd let someone else try it before trying it on my own unit. Unless I tore it appart an investigated how things are wired inside and did some actual electrical measuring, I'd not try it unlesss I was willing to chance that something might get toasted.

You should NOT use a automobile or motorcycle charger that is specific to Lead/Acid batteries! They can cause damage to the batteries because they charge in a different way than a specific Lifepo4 Lithium Charger. They often have a Desulfinate feature or over voltage "Quick Charging" feature... both of which will damage the Antigravity Battery. Lead Acid charges in many case will overcharge a lithium battery ending up in damage which is not covered under warranty.

I purchased this battery for my walk behind golf cart, it is a 12V 22ah, Length 7.13 inches width 3.03" and height of 6.5", if these dimension will accomadate your battery compartment and the voltage/Amps are coorrect it should work for you.Width 3.03 inches Height 6.57 inches Weight 14.60 lbs

this battery charger would only charge just a little bit, and if the batteries were completely dead, it wouldn't do anything at all...eventually it got so bad this charger wouldn't work at all. One of the worst purchases I've made in a while...take my advice, spend the money and purchase a dedicated charger for your golf cart, it's worth it!

I'm not sure but the solution is non-toxic and it works. My cart hasn't lost any speed or power.

Hello I tried the refurbish kit for the golfcart batteries and when i go back to Florida this winter i am going to replace the batterys.. i don;t think the kit did anything for me, but it was a very low cost try so i tried it. maybe you will have better luck then i did but my batteries are now 5 years old so they are ready to be replaced...good luck.......

Works great for golf cart batteries @48 volt six 8 volt batteries will and should work fine for marine batteries

This battery could last only half of Interstat battery 12V.23ah in same condition, So,you know this junk. I bought this battery this year for my electric golf cart but I wouldn't buy again

I see no reason for it no to. I am using one to charge a 36v golf cart. I suggest not running your battery pack below 70% ; and leave it pluged up anytime you are not using it. Hope this helps.
