## Description

Give your golf cart **double its normal battery capacity** by installing one extra **Golf Cart Battery**. The extra battery arrives fully charged, helping you travel farther between charges.

##### Features[#](#md-features)

- **200% battery capacity** with one upgrade per golf cart.
- **Charged extra battery:** preserves your existing charge and adds a full battery’s worth of energy.
- **Visible battery and holder** using the game’s original battery model and textures.
- **Saved per cart:** upgrade status and remaining charge persist when saving and reloading.
- **Adjustable placement:** fine-tune the holder’s X, Y and Z position through the mod settings.
- Retains normal driving performance, power consumption and solar-charging rates.

##### How to use[#](#md-how-to-use)

1. Carry **one Golf Cart Battery** in your inventory.
2. Look directly at the battery holder near the cart’s rear bumper.
3. **Hold E**—or your rebound Interact key—for one second to install it.

One battery is consumed. The installed battery becomes visible, and the cart’s maximum energy capacity doubles.

Aim at the installed battery to view its charge. Normal pushing and seat interactions remain available.

##### Settings[#](#md-settings)

Open **MODS → Golf Cart Battery Upgrade** to adjust the holder’s position.

Changes apply live to all carts, including the battery and interaction prompt. Values are in metres: **0.01 = 1 cm**.

##### Requirements and known limits[#](#md-requirements-and-known-limits)

- Requires **RedLoader**.
- **Single-player only.** Multiplayer is not supported.
- Each cart accepts **one upgrade**.
- Solar charging retains its normal rate, so charging the doubled capacity from empty takes longer.
- Keep the mod installed to retain the extra capacity.

**Fully close the game before installing or updating.**

## Changelog 0.1.8 (2026-11-12)

Charging-speed changes apply live to golf carts, including existing upgrades. Normal daylight conditions still apply.

Improved save-load protection: battery upgrades and remaining charge are read independently if another mod’s save reader interrupts loading.

Added an immediate charge snapshot before saving.

Existing upgrades and saved settings remain compatible.

Fully close the game before replacing the mod files.
