What Makes the Exide GC115G 6V Golf Cart Battery Stand Out

The Exide GC115G 6V battery delivers reliable power for golf carts through its rugged construction and deep-cycle design. With 245 Ah capacity and advanced lead-calcium technology, it ensures consistent voltage output for uphill climbs and extended rides. Its spill-proof design minimizes maintenance, while high reserve capacity supports long-term use in varied terrains.

What Are the Key Specifications of the Exide GC115G Battery?

This 6V battery features:

• 245 Ah @ 20-hour rate
• 1000+ cycle life at 50% depth of discharge
• 17.9 x 7.7 x 7.5-inch dimensions
• 65 lbs weight
• Lead-calcium alloy grids
• Dual-purpose terminals for secure connections

Its vibration-resistant casing withstands rough terrain, and the 1.275 specific gravity electrolyte optimizes charge retention in extreme temperatures.

The 245 Ah rating provides 20% longer runtime per charge compared to standard 220 Ah models, making it ideal for 36-hole courses or hilly terrain. The lead-calcium grid design reduces water consumption by 30% compared to traditional lead-antimony batteries, requiring fewer refills. At 65 lbs, the GC115G strikes a balance between energy density and manageable weight, allowing easier installation while maintaining structural integrity. The dual SAE/5/16″ terminals accommodate both standard golf cart connectors and aftermarket accessories like LED lighting systems.

How to Properly Maintain the Exide GC115G for Maximum Lifespan?

1. Check water levels monthly—refill with distilled water when plates are exposed
2. Clean terminals quarterly using baking soda solution
3. Equalize charges every 60 days using a 7.4V charger
4. Store at 50-80% charge in dry, 50°F+ environments
5. Avoid discharging below 40% capacity

Why Choose Exide GC115G Over Competing 6V Golf Cart Batteries?

How Does Temperature Affect Exide GC115G Performance?

In 95°F+ environments, capacity decreases 15% but self-discharge accelerates 2x. Below 32°F, available power drops 30-40%. Use insulation blankets in cold climates and park in shade during summer. Optimal operating range: 50-85°F.

High temperatures accelerate plate corrosion, reducing lifespan by 18-24 months in desert climates. In freezing conditions, electrolyte viscosity increases, limiting ion movement between plates. For every 15°F below 77°F, charging efficiency drops 10% – use temperature-compensated chargers in seasonal climates. In coastal areas, apply anti-corrosion spray to terminals quarterly to combat salt air degradation. Thermal imaging tests show GC115G maintains 7°F cooler internal temps than competitors during fast charging.

FAQs

Does the GC115G require special chargers?

Use 6V chargers with 7-12A output; avoid automotive chargers exceeding 15A.

Are these batteries stackable?

Yes, up to 3 high using Exide-approved racks (sold separately).
