    Looking to see if anyone here uses an electric golf cart for towing their cars around the pits and if it works well. Need to tow a dragster that is about 2000 pounds with driver. Thanks for any input.

    Do you need to put the cart on the charger in between rounds or generally how long does a charge last (# of tows back and forth)?

    If you don't have a son that rides it all day you shouldn't have to charge it all weekend. Just get good batterys they will pay for there self.

    Just don't charge it between rounds. Trojon batteries have a projected battery life of 500 to 550 charge cycles. Each time it's charged even for just a few minutes counts as 1 cycle. If buying new batteries dont use anything else spend the few extra $$ and get the good stuff. The Interstate,Napa,ect don't have near the life.
