As we recently mentioned, Spring is only a calendar page away and what are now empty, brown, well groomed lawns will soon be ignited with new life as golfers take to the greens as the weather warms. Whether you manage a fleet of golf carts or you have one stored away in your garage, you'll want to take some time for maintenance and battery care or you'll find yourself carrying your own clubs and gear.

Golf carts run off of deep-cycle batteries. Although they look similar to car batteries, deep-cycle batteries serve a completely different purpose. While both are lead-acid based, deep-cycle batteries are designed to provide a steady current over a long period of time, while car batteries provide a very large current over a short period of time. This is because electric golf carts, like other electric vehicles, derive all their power from their batteries and are not used simply for starting.

One battery is not enough to run a golf cart. Instead, they use battery packs that consist of multiple

Do you find yourself dreaming of the summer riding season?  Can't wait for the snow to melt so you can cruise the countryside?  We have great news!  The spring riding season is just around the corner and Impact Battery is ready!  We offer several brands of motorcycle batteries including Adventure Power, MotoBatt, Odyssey and Braille.

Our favorite is the premium quality MotoBatt line.  They have a full 2 year replacement warranty and a unique QuadFlex terminal arrangement.  The MotoBatt AGM batteries generally have more cranking power and amp capacity for less money than other premium brands. Take advantage of our spring sale and use coupon code: QuadFlex to receive 7.3% off your next MotoBatt Battery purchase until June 30th, 2011.

Today, January 20th, marks exactly two months until the first day of Spring! The long dark nights and cold mornings are going to become a distant memory as the weeks progress towards warmer weather. With winter behind us, the fishing, camping, boating season is creeping up.

As you dust off your flip-flops and dig through your closet to find your long forgotten pair of shorts, don't forget about your boat or watercraft's battery. It's likely been 3 or more months since you last fired up your boat's motor. A dead battery is a real downer at the lake and Impact Battery has a great selection of marine batteries and personal water craft batteries.

We carry deep cycle marine batteries manufactured by Universal Power Group and LifeLine Batteries. These sealed lead acid AGM marine batteries are spill proof and will not leak acid on your boat in rough seas. We've got a huge selection of marine batteries and if you aren't sure what kind of marine battery you need, check out our Marine Battery Selector

The new multi-purpose Genius chargers have arrived!  These units are packed with features, look great and are extremely easy to use.  We began testing these switch mode style (vs. linear) chargers a few days ago and are excited by the initial results. They seem to perform as good or better than the premium PulseTech units leaving the batteries with a high level state of charge.  The best part is that they are up to 30% less expensive and currently have a discount coupon code available (see below).

The G3500 Genius charger, for example, automatically detects the type of battery (i.e. wet cell or AGM) and correctly chooses the charging current for the size of battery connected.  It displays the charge level and then automatically switches into the float/maintenance mode when fully charged.  With the press of a button you can manually override the settings to charge a

At Impact Battery we carry twelve different brands of battery chargers and when you need to find the right charger it can be a bit overwhelming, so today we're going to introduce to you Deltran's Battery Tender Chargers, a family owned company since 1965.

Whether you've got a bike, boat, or ATV when it comes to riding you don't want to wait for a dead battery to charge. Weekend outings aren't as regular as you'd like to plan them, so in the mean time you've got to keep your machine's battery charged and in top condition. At Impact Battery we really like the smart characteristics and affordability of the Battery Tender products.

Many automatic battery chargers turn off when the battery voltage rises or the charge current falls to a preset level. Then after a period of time, when the battery self discharge characteristics have reduced its terminal voltage significantly the charger will turn on and recharge the battery. This type of cycling will dramatically reduce battery life. The Deltran
