Yes it will work. Check the electrolyte in all the batteries and make sure they are full. Any that are low of fluid then add distilled water. Do not add tap water and only add distilled water. Once they are all full, plug the charger in and let it fully charge the batteries. If the cart will not run for at least 18 holes of Golf one or more of the batteries needs replacing.

Why will 6v golf cart batteries not stay charged if they are new?
You said "stay charged if new" - Did you use the cart? If so that is kind of how the cart works - You use it and recharge it. You said new batteries - Have they gone through the "break in" period (about 100 charging cycles)? If you did not use the cart then are you using an automatic charger and how long does it take to "not stay charged" or for the charge to go away? If you did not use the cart then I suspect the automatic charger may kick on and off as it needs to (like once every 7-30 days). If the charger has been turning on and off daily then there is a problem. Is the charging handle (from charger) damaged? Is the charging plug (on golf cart) damaged? What is the brand, year, model, and type of golf cart (Example: E-Z-Go 1997 TXT Electric 36 volt)? What is the brand, model, and type of charger (Example: Powerwise II Automatic). Is the charging handle making good contact (Snap in) with the cart - Do you hear a click about one to three seconds after you snap it in? If you do, then that is the charger "shaking hands" with the golf cart and basically saying "I sure would like to charge you up if you want". The charger would then turn on with the above example cart/charger (E-Z-Go/Powerwise) REVIEW - I said "Snap" then "Click" and finally "Charger turns on" The whole process can take up to 2 -10 seconds. A damaged charging handle or cart plug may keep repeating the "clicking" and "charger on" thing. Is the drain caused by a short or bad battery? Battery: Use safety glasses, gloves, and a taped wrench (electrical tape wrapped over boxed half of wrench) to take off the negative and positive cable of the battery bank (search youtube video for help). Let the cart set overnight to see if the cart loses the charge. If it does then it may be a hard (or junk) battery & that will also cause an automatic charger to stay on high amps (needle in red zone on charger's meter) for a long time (over an hour) during charge. [This may high amp thing may also take place when breaking in a new set of batteries but not after two hours.] Short or drain: If the batteries retained the charge with the cables unhooked over night then it may be a short (drain on the batteries). The short must be corrected or you may also have a fire hazard! If you are not sure how to trace a short then get the cart to someone who can without plugging the cart to the charger.
What is the difference between battery charger and intelligent battery charger?
a simple battery charger only charges the battery and having no feedback from the battery status, it can cause overcharging, increase temperature, and can damage the battery or in worst case can blow up the battery, also mitigates the life time of the battery. whether intelligent battery charger charges the battery and get feedback from the battery , when the battery gets fully charged it Cut off the charging circuit itself, also maintain the charging at its trickling current to control the temperature. simply it shows the status of the battery. i hope its the Good answer. thanks although the intelligent battery charger charges the battery and get feedback from the battery,the batteries have different charge characteristics. For example ,some intelligent battery charger detect △V and △T to control charge. However when batteries has been charged fully,they will show different characteristics. some battery has show the voltage dropped,but in fact they has not been charged fully,even charged a little just because the wave input voltage.some batteries has show the voltage dropped,but the batteries has charged fully for a long time.So acccording to the △V not to determine the fully charged.△T has the same problem and when the same battery charged fully will come different temperature,if the charging current is different. So △T is worse than the △V. Finally,although the intelligent battery charger can get feedback,now the battery charge characteristic is unsure.So it is no sense. I think battery charge should be distinction by constants current or constants voltage.they will produce obvious different effect of charge.
How does the watermelon charger work?
Watermelon chargers made for cell phones to charge the batteries is a myth that has been tested and failed.
Where can one find an AA charger?
One can buy an AA charger from shops like Currys, Comet, BestBuy. Even some off the superstores like Tesco, Wallmart, ASDA stock AA chargers. It's better to go for AA chargers which show charging indication and auto-cut off once the batteries have been charged, make sure that you use the right battery with correct charger rating.
Should the charger be removed after the laptop battery been fully charged?
Well technically speaking yes, because the battery can over charge, lowering its life span/capacity and the adapters tend to overheat causing damage to the charger. Fortunately for the newer laptop batteries and chargers this problem is solved. If you are really concerned about either of these events occurring then unplug it after each charge.
Where can one purchase an alkaline batter charger?
Few alkaline battery chargers have been made. The process to recharge alkaline batteries hasn't been very successful. Most rechargeable alkaline batteries will only recharge a few times and you have to make sure you use the correct type of charger. It can be very dangerous if you use the wrong one.
Can I safely recharge Energizer NiMH 2500 and 2650 rechargeables in Duracell 15 minute fast charger without damaging them or shortening their life greatly?
Go to Energizer's website. It says that even energizer batteries recharged in an energizer 15 minute charger will only get about 150 charges, whereas batteries charged in an overnight charger will get around 500 charges. Duracell's website saysabout same. I just bought an energizer 15 minute charger that has a fan to keep the batteries cool and even with that they get very warm. One of the AA and one AAA battery actually leaked acid during their first charge. Battery manufacturers always suggest telling you to use their batteries with their chargers. This is to put more money in their pockets, plus its the way they test their products. I have been using many diffterent NiMH batteries over the years, and several different chargers, so I would say yes you can use an energizer battery in a duracell charger. However based on the information found on Energizer's and Duracell's websites I would saydon't use a quick charger, you will shorten the lfe of the battery by 1/3 to 1/4. Your money is MUCH better spent on a slow overnight charger and an extra set of batteries to keep in it so you always have a set ready to go.
How does the process of grounding occur when you receive a spark from a metal shopping cart?
When a metal shopping cart gives the person pushing it an electric spark that is basically lightning. It occurs when the cart has been charged up electrically as it moves along and the person touching it acts as something to discharge that electricity through to go to ground.
What happen if you do not unplug the laptop charger after they have been fully charged?
Over time you will shorten the lifespan of your battery. Once it's fully charged if you don't need to use the battery just unplug it from the laptop and only work with mains power.
Do they make universal 18v batteries for power tools i have a 5 in 1 combo kit i got off QVC years ago good kit but lost battery. i need to find a battery that will work properly with this combo.?
You should contact the manufacture, they should offer replacement batteries. I have been in the same situation, I just purchased another tool that used the same battery. This provided 2 batteries plus I have 2 charger now and not to mention the new tool. Take the old battery and charger to Harbor Freight and see if they can match it. Make sure your charger will charge it.
