battery change precedent

[carguy]

Buggies Unlimited will be comming out with a conversion kit late this summer or early fall.

Club Car has them now. I got the part #'s from a dealer . . . . but I cant find those #'s now. CC is very proud of their version (lotsa $$$$$$).

Have fun, Dave

I don't golf so not really sure how many miles or going up hills contributes to battery life under those scenario's...

I do know that I can always get at least 20 miles out of my cart with 1 year old batteries on fairly level ground running average speeds of 11 MPH in different campgrounds, topping the speeds out to 26 on occasion. That's taking the batteries down to 48.4 volts. How does this compare to golf course usage with higher hills and stop and go? I always wondered about that...

Well golf courses cycle the batteries more than like you and I do,you know they go out and play 36 holes come in and get put on charge for about 4 hours and then go out again.When you and I use our cars we just cruise around locally and dont put them to hard use and we also take better care of the batteries.A lot of courses run the batteries out of water and overcharge and some dont.

Thanks :) Is there a rule of thumb for 36 holes = ?? miles

Sad thing is I had homes in PGA on the golf course but could never play the game... bad shoulder is the excuse I use currently!!!!! LOL I've only played Putt Putt and I suck at that as well!

I dont know what the mileage is on courses as I assume it varies for each course.My Dad has a 2007 Prececent that he uses daily on the course and around the Hood and has 0-problems.

36 holes is less than 10 miles of driving in spurts of 100-200 yards at a time. The draw down on the batteries is less because the cart sits and recovers between spurts. The terrain is another thing, probably 70%-30%, cart path vs grass.
