Battery breaking in question
Ok, I got my charger fixed and need to start breaking in my new batteries. But here's the problem. Snow. It's too dang cold to get it out and run it to discharge the batteries. Can I jack the wheels off the floor and run it that way? Will it hurt the batteries, motor or any other components? I would really like to get some breaking in done. It's supposed to be in the mid 60's by the end of next week and I would love to get some golf in. Plus my wife is really mad cause my cart and my Harley take up all the room and I need to get it back to my cart shed at the course.

IIRC, you've got a series cart, so it probably would hurt it to let it run for a while at a modest speed with the wheels off the ground. (Duct tape the accelerator????) Or if you could lay your hands on a battery checker that puts a 75A or 100A load on 6V or 12V batteries and discharge them down to about 90% or so SoC one at a time or in pairs. I don't think it matters too much if you break in the batteries right away or you do it down the road a ways, as long as they stay charged in the interim. I think scottyb post this a while back, but whoever it was said they had a customer with new batteries that worked out a deal with a golf buddy to play 9 holes with one cart towing the other and switch them around to play the back 9. Also, if the wife wants the room back, get her to drive the cart around in the cold. Merry Christmas. |

Re: Battery breaking in question
Well that would work, only issue is it will take a very very long time since the batteries will be under no type of load. So good luck
