Getting Cheap Batteries for Golf Carts – Local Dealers Uncover Better Sources

If you’re like many golf cart dealers, you do quite a bit of business in your service department. After all, selling a new or used golf cart can net quite a profit, but your service department can often bring in far more capital and create loyal customers faster than you might imagine. One lucrative area of any good service department is selling batteries for golf carts. Local dealers will often see hundreds of customers searching for the right batteries for their golf carts in a single season. How can you get the batteries you need as inexpensively as possible? This guide can help.

Selling a new or used golf cart can net quite a profit, but your service department can often bring in far more capital and create loyal customers faster than you might imagine.

Step 1: Work With More Than One Supplier

If the COVID-19 pandemic and its shortages taught absolutely everyone one single lesson, it was to rely on more than one supplier for the items you need to run your business. Even if you’ve always worked with a single vendor for batteries in the past, working with more than one vendor not only means you’re likely not going to have supply issues in the future, it may also mean you have the opportunity to offer your customers additional battery brands. 

Step 2: Make Sure You’re Ordering Enough To Get Wholesale Prices

Ordering batteries for golf carts? Local dealers should identify themselves as such and ensure their orders are large enough to qualify for that wholesale discount. There are many vendors who won’t let you order very small quantities of batteries and still qualify as a dealer, which gives you great access to additional discounts on golf cart batteries. As a result, you should interface with your vendor to understand exactly how much you have to order to see those discounted prices. 

Step 3: Don’t Get Comfortable

Stay on the lookout, continuously, for good sources of cheap golf cart batteries. It’s tough to know when you’re going to come across an overlooked supplier or a way to get a better discount. Just because you paid that much per battery on your last order certainly doesn’t mean you have to do the same thing this time, so be willing to make the necessary changes to get better deals to help enhance your service department’s revenue. 

Golf cart batteries are hot season after season. Find a way to get cheaper prices, and you could find a stronger profit margin.
