Battery monitoring
I just put in a Cartsunlimited digital battery monitoring meter. It looks nice and it don't take long to put in. Reading the cart that came with it as long that I don't go under 48.40 on the meter if I go under I have to recharge. It's a 48 volt Club Car 2008 ds.

Re: Battery monitoring
I try to keep it plug in but the boss aka wife forgets to plug it in. I hope the meter will help.Scott was a good guy to deal with.

I got my meter from Scotty back in march and it really helps. You know when to feather the pedal if the drain is to high. You know what the SOC is when you turn it on. really good stuff. I think once you start paying attention to it the BOSS will too. Wifey and I cruise daily and she has started to pay attention to it, especially up the hills.. Think about a chart that you can monitor the SOC. A column for pack, after you take the charge off the batteries and after they rest, another column on the chart for each battery, separately, after charge and after rest as well. It gives me piece of mind the charger is working and the condition of my batteries are as they should be. |

Re: Battery monitoring
Yeap - can't go wrong with anything from Scotty. I put mine yesterday - replaced the POS that came in mine. So nice having when taking my trip through the woods(trails). Abeit it is a slow roll and really nice to know I was out for over an hour and still had more than 80+ left.
I have my laundry list built for August to begin my next purchases from him. Congrats on your purchase. |
