Default What’s the range for 48v RXV?

I have Trojan batteries that are 2 years old. The cart gets light use.

I had it stored for the winter and took it out yesterday. It was full but after a few miles (maybe 3) it dropped 30%

Stock Curtis controller
Max speed is 13 MPH

Thanks.

You likely have battery problems. I have hit 20+ mile range. Do you have huge tires.

You need to drive, while monitoring battery pack voltage, the numbers dont lie. If it's often hitting 42-44v range, you got big trouble coming.

What range should it be hitting.

I just mapped out my route (from life 360) and I actually went 6.4 miles on that trip so that’s just at 20 mile range. Whoa. I may need to sell this cart and get a gas one. I may need more range. The kids go everywhere in this community.

You might want to look at my post below where I logged the amp draw of an RXV:

http://www.buggiesgonewild.com/elect...-amp-draw.html

What I found was that, once up to speed, at 19.5 mph on level ground with one person the cart pulled less than 56 amps with stock tires.

Look at the amp rating of your batteries. They are rated based on minutes at 56 amps. This should give you an indication of your range WHEN YOUR BATTERIES WERE IN OPTIMAL STATE.

My experience has been that batteries do not stay in this optimal state
(if they ever achieve it) very long. After a relatively short while generally I get about 80% of the minute rating on the battery.

The RXV actually has about the lowest "at cruising speed" amp draw out there. An old series cart is far worse all the way across the board.

Those issues are still why I love my gasser carts, if I decide to go for a ride out in the desert, the risk of running out of propulsion is low, unless I havent checked my tank in about a month.

(But I will admit it did happen once)
