Flow-Rite 48V Battery Watering Golf Cart Fitment Flow-Rite BG-C48V-11-WS Distributor Snake Kit -- Battery Watering System with Hand Pump

Stop topping off individual battery cells with a funnel and flashlight. The Flow-Rite BG-C48V-11-WS snake kit lets you water all six 8V batteries in your 48V Club Car in one shot -- custom-molded tubing routes precisely through the battery compartment, and the included hand pump delivers the right amount of water every time.

One Connection. All Six Batteries Watered.

Proper battery watering is one of the most overlooked maintenance tasks in golf cart ownership -- and one of the most damaging when done wrong. Overfilling washes out electrolyte; underfilling exposes plates and accelerates sulfation. The Flow-Rite BG-C48V-11-WS eliminates both problems.

This kit uses custom-molded "snake" tubing that is pre-shaped to match the specific battery layout found in Club Car Precedent and DS models running Trojan 8V batteries (2007 and older). The tubing snaps into the fill ports on each battery and connects to a single hand pump inlet -- one pump stroke per manufacturer recommendation fills every cell to the correct level simultaneously.

Pre-Molded Snake Tubing

Custom-shaped to fit the exact battery layout of Club Car Precedent and DS carts -- no cutting, no guessing, no kinking.

Included Hand Pump

Hand-operated pump delivers controlled flow. No electrical connection required -- works anywhere, including the course or storage yard.

Consistent Cell Levels

Fills all six 8V battery cells to the proper level in one pass, eliminating the over/underfill guesswork of manual watering.

Trojan 8V Compatibility

Designed specifically for Trojan 8V battery configurations in 48V carts, 2007 model year and older.

Why Battery Watering Systems Matter

Flooded lead-acid golf cart batteries require regular watering -- typically every 2 to 4 weeks during active use. Manual watering with a garden hose or spray bottle introduces inconsistency: too much water dilutes electrolyte and can cause overflow and corrosion on battery terminals and the tray; too little accelerates plate exposure and capacity loss. A properly installed watering system removes human error from the equation entirely.

Flow-Rite is one of the leading manufacturers of battery watering systems for golf carts, floor machines, and industrial equipment. Their distributor snake kits are engineered for specific vehicle and battery configurations -- the tubing profile, port fittings, and flow volumes are matched to the application, not adapted from a generic kit.

What Is a Snake Kit?

Unlike modular systems where individual fill valves are installed on each battery cap, a Flow-Rite snake kit uses a single continuous pre-molded tube assembly that connects directly into the existing fill ports. The tubing is rigid enough to hold its routed shape in the battery compartment but flexible enough to install and remove. The "snake" name comes from how the tube winds between and around the batteries to reach every cell.

Fitment and Compatibility

This is a vehicle-specific kit. The snake tubing is molded to a precise geometry -- it will not adapt to other cart models or battery brands without modification. Confirm your vehicle and battery specs before ordering.

  • Vehicle: Club Car Precedent and Club Car DS
  • Battery system voltage: 48V (six 8V batteries in series)
  • Battery brand: Trojan 8V batteries
  • Model year: 2007 and older
  • Battery count: 6 batteries (typical 48V 8V configuration)

Year and Battery Brand Are Critical

Club Car changed battery compartment layouts over the years, and different battery brands (Trojan, US Battery, Crown, etc.) have different fill port positions and case dimensions. This kit -- BG-C48V-11-WS -- is engineered specifically for Trojan 8V batteries in 2007 and older Precedent and DS models. If your cart is 2008 or newer, or uses a different battery brand, this snake profile will not fit correctly. Flow-Rite offers separate kits for newer model years and other configurations.

What Is Included

  • Pre-molded distributor snake tubing assembly (vehicle-specific geometry)
  • Hand pump
  • All fittings and connectors needed to complete the watering circuit

No Permanent Modifications Required

The snake kit connects to existing battery fill ports and does not require drilling, cutting battery caps, or permanent alterations to the cart. The system can be disconnected and stored when not in use, though most owners leave it routed in the battery compartment for convenience.

Maintenance Tips

  • Always water batteries after a full charge cycle, not before. Charging causes electrolyte to expand -- watering before charging can cause overflow.
  • Use only distilled or deionized water. Tap water minerals accelerate plate sulfation and reduce battery life.
  • Inspect the snake tubing fittings for cracks or loose connections each time you water.
  • If pump resistance feels unusually high, check for a kinked tube or a stuck cell vent.
  • Keep the pump nozzle and inlet clean -- debris in the fill line can clog individual cell ports.

Important Information -- Read Before Ordering

  • Vehicle-specific fit: This kit is engineered for Club Car Precedent and DS golf carts with Trojan 8V batteries, 2007 model year and older. It will not correctly fit newer model years or other battery brands.
  • Confirm battery brand: The snake tubing geometry is matched to Trojan 8V case dimensions and fill port positions. US Battery, Crown, and other 8V batteries have different layouts and require different kits.
  • Six-battery 48V only: This kit is for 48V carts configured with six 8V batteries. It is not compatible with 36V configurations or 48V carts using different cell counts (such as eight 6V batteries).
  • Water after charging: Always water flooded lead-acid batteries after -- not before -- a full charge. Watering before charging risks electrolyte overflow as the battery gases during charge.
  • Distilled water only: Tap water minerals contaminate electrolyte and shorten battery life. Use only distilled or deionized water.
  • Inspect fittings regularly: Cracked or loose fittings can direct water outside the battery cells, causing tray corrosion without properly filling the cells.
