Proper battery meter readings

[davjohn28]

ive got a 2016 G29 with a Scotty B's 30A reducer with fuse block as well as a digital constant Battery meter... Cart stays on charger when not in use.... Heres the question, we can ride for upward of lets say 1.5-2hrs straight and the meter will only drop to about 46V... We ride 100% on pavement in neighborhood but i just feel as though the meter should read lower after 1.5 of pretty consistent riding. What do you think?

Only time i ever had cart almost die on me was when i didnt plug charger for a few weeks and we ride for about 1hr and it dropped to 34ish i believe.Cart never died, just went into a limp mode the whole way home.

Sounds normal to me.

CG i will certainly take your word for it... how low would you say to let it drop before recharging? Usually after two hours on and off we are tired of it anyways but sometimes us and the neighbors make somewhat of an all day affair of riding. im just terrified of cart dying since meter never drops down below 45-46ish.

Charge it after every use. Dont go by the idea of "how low should I let it go".

As this chart shows, "drawing it down" further does not help battery lifespan.
