got my soc gauge installed!

Thanks, Tazman!

Got it installed with no problems, but it seems to be pretty optimistic.

This is sitting in the yard with the radio on, not plugged in, this is what the gauge says. Does that look right?

Also, what's the "E" signify? 50%? 80%?

36v cart?
If so, I think the E is about 35v (20%), the F is about 38v (100%).
What does it measure with a digital voltmeter.
The radio doesn't draw a lot of power, you'd have to run it at full power for 5 hours to reduce 12v of your pack to 20%.

You got yours installed. I disco'd mine after it getting stuck a couple of times. I guess I know now why it was disco'd when I got the cart. I did the little trick of disconnecting it while charging and reconnecting afterward. It lasted a little while and got stuck again. Is this something that happens quite often with the ones you guys have? Mine is the digital one with the LED indicator lines on it.
Not trying to highjack, but since this is a thread already about the SOC meter, I thought it wouldn't hurt.

I haven't had any problems with mine sticking. Did you try fixing it with a hammer? Lol

That was going to be my next method of repair!
