ive just recently acquired a 1994.1/2 ezgo golf cart
with a charger. the charger is an ezgo total charge lll
36 volt. can i leave the charger connected to the batteries
all winter and when the charge in the batteries drop to
a low voltage the charger will come back on until the batteries
reach full charge and then shut off again.if i remember
correctly when i first pluged it in it came on and showed
it was chargeing at 20 amp and then it dropped to
5 amps and shut off and stayed at 5 amp. so does

Yes the charger should keep the battery on trickle charge once the batteries have come up to full charge. I have a Club Car cart and if the cart is not actually being used it's plugged into the charger. That said if I'm going out of town for an extended periods I unplug the charger from the wall and cart and disconnect the batteries in the cart.

If it shut off it wasn't putting out 5 amps. And despite what all the armchair experts tell you, leaving a trickle charge going is a terrible thing to do to a battery. The best thing to do would be to disconnect the batteries for the winter. Just slapping the charger on for a few hours every two months is all they need.
