Between 25 and 40 miles depending on load, terrain, tire inflation, battery condition and initial battery charge.

You may have a problem with the blinking light, do you have a voltmeter?

When the oil light comes on in your car do you automatically check the light or check the oil? :lol:

I thought that's what electrical tape was for, cut off a piece and stick it over that blinking light. :lol:
Tomberlins in past have had a problem with their state of charge meters not reading correctly.

dougmcp is correct. My battery charge indicator typically goes to half full after about 5 miles however I can continue on for close to 30 before it dies, or at least starts speed limiting.

Also, the first set of batteries in the cart had problems and had to be replaced under warranty. I was only getting about 10 miles to a charge after about 60 days. They were replaced over a year ago and haven't had a problem since.

Start by charging the batteries, unplug the charger, let it sit overnight and measure each battery with a voltmeter.
Post the voltages of all 6 batteries and let's have a look.
