Check your batteries!

This time of year it's all about the batteries.  We deal with all lines of batteries...ATV, motorcycle, auto, marine, and golf cart...and we see all kinds of problems come through the door when it comes to batteries.  You might have a method that works well for you, and if so, stick to it.  Regardless of what kind of battery you're dealing with the most important thing we can tell you....keep it charged.  On deep cycle (golf cart) batteries that means charging every couple of weeks.  For auto/atv/motorcycle we'd suggest using a float or "trickle" charger. 

We have also recently started selling a good amount of reconditioned (recon) batteries.  These are batteries that have typically sat on the shelf too long, or were used for a short time and then neglected.  To recondition these batteries specific amounts of acid and other chemicals are added to the battery and then it is taken through a series of charge cycles to bring it back to a good state.  These recons are a good cost-effective alternative to buying a brand new $100 dollar battery.  Most reconditioned batteries will sell for around half of the normal new price.  For example, we sell all of our automotive recons at $35 with a 15 month free replacement warranty.  Tough to beat if you're looking to save a few bucks over the holidays.

It doesn't hurt to check your batteries before the cold of winter hits either.  If you run into issues, have questions, or need help give us a shout.

If you are reading this blog, hopefully you have been to our new and improved website to check things out.  We're really happy with how the new site turned out, and look forward to hearing what our customers think.  Our shopping cart will be up and running soon as well, so you will be able to order directly online.

I don't have a lot to post about this time around, but you can expect to see a wide variety of post from us in the future.  We will cover a lot of different topics including: golf carts, how-to, maintenance, business, good products that we have used vs. that aren't so good...etc.  You can also expect to see a lot of off topic post...more about what's on our mind. 

Hopefully you will find some of the post informational, a little bit funny, and most of all enjoyable to read.  Our content may not be suited for everyone, but give it a try and see what you think.

That's all for this time around.
