Default Re: Chevy Volt Lithium

Why are you using Chevy Volt batteries? Its a 48 volt golf cart right? Isn't it going to slow you down?

Chevy volt modules are 12s.. so 12s x 4.2 = 50.4 volts max.. and as soon as you drive 50 feet, that 4.2 is going to drop to around 4.1 volts... and another 200 feet later, it will be at 4 volts.. By the time you've driven a couple of foot ball fields worth, you'll be at 3.85 to 3.9 volts.. or 46.8 volts for the pack.

At 3.85, down to around 3.65, they will show off their true capacity.. but 3.65 x12 cells doesn't work for a 48 volt golf cart.
