What is the pack voltage? (100% State of Charge is 38.2V or higher)

I will have to check it tomorrow I did go ahead and plug on a regular car charger and charging it on 12v to see if my cart charger will click on

Well after checking on here and found some links I charged up batteries with a car bat. Charger them my cart charger and all was good but strange cause only showed bat. Level Down bout half when it died

Pulling lights/radio off 2 batts? (2x6v=12v)

Could be killing those 2?

voltage reducer to pull evenly from pack might help.

Those battery indicators are inaccurate and misleading. If it showed half you were probably completely dead. If mine moves off of full I charge!

Years ago I noticed my cart slowing down after the light moved down 2 bars out of the 5. so I recharged and got the meter and drove and drove and drove..... after one bar dropped off I had used 30%. after the second bar dropped off I was already below the point where I should have been on the charger...This is why we have moved to a digital battery meter

Now we watch for a number which indicates 50% usage as the go to charge indicator. With the meter reading in 10ths of a volt there is plenty of warning about when to recharge.

Where did you get the digital bat. Meter?
