A golf cart battery is the same lead-acid battery used in cars, only smaller. Most run on a six-volt lead acid cell core. If the battery dies, it is probably because the lead cells are covered in sulfur, which occurs when the battery power is overdrawn. You can restore it by flushing out the acid and cleaning the lead cells with distilled water or a solution of Epsom salts and water. This will clean the cells and allow the chemical reaction that creates electricity to occur once again.
