    You probably have some corrosion on your battery connectors. Good courses have their employees power wash them daily. You should also check the water levels inside the battery. They need to be filled about 90 percent full.

    I remember working at Mount Warren Park Golf club in Queensland and cleaning a fleet of about 25 carts. Every day I would have to clean the carts so you could imagine removing the batteries was not an option.

    I would just use a normal hose and wash out under the seat....this worked fine, hope this helps.

    pressure washer probably won't hurt.

    carbonated soda will fizz some of the gunk off. and a wire brush is good for cleaning connections.

    watering off with a hose is good cosmetics.
