To charge or not to charge.
Ok so as most of you know I'm new to the cart thing. Everything I have ever owned has had a gas or diesel motor. Ok so this eavning the wife her brother and I went out on a little drive total weight around 600lbs. My cart is a 99cc with 5.5 horse motor and 480 amp controler 3" life 20x10-10 and rear seat. Car runs 20+ mph on flat and 14-17mph up hill all on my GPS. Depending on the grade. We do live in a hilly area. N e ways. We drove around for about an hour. So should I or should I not charge after the drive? I did decide to but I was just wondering if I did the right thing. Thank for replying.

Charge.
Lead acid wet cell batteries want to be fully charged all the time. They have no memory. If you run for 15 minutes recharge. |
