Voltage drop....
Just installed 4 new 12 v us battery xc after putting in a motor controller and solenoid and 4 g wires....put the charger on for over 24 hrs. Noticed the voltage meter read approx 50 .5 v when disconnected and when running I see the voltage dip to as low as 45 when climbing a hill......is this normal for a new set of batteries to draw that much or is it due to break in period with new batteries?

Drove the cart around a while and replugged it in.....after the charger shut off it now read 54.4 v ....which is 4 v higher than last charge......this is normal too?

Re: Voltage drop....
Yes, while the cart is charging near the end of the cycle it will reach 63v+/-. After the charger shuts down it will be about 55v and in the morning it will be about 52v.

Re: Voltage drop....
Also, as you break in new batteries correctly you will notice performance improvements after 10 to 20 charge cycles.
