State of charge meter and solenoid problems.
I believe my state of charge meter I got on amazon is not accurate. Is there a certain one that anyone would recommend, I have a 96 ezgo txt. Also I have not had any running issues but after prolonged use my solenoid gets fairly hot, any suggestions?

Re: State of charge meter and solenoid problems.
These do so much more than a bar graph

Re: State of charge meter and solenoid problems.
Agree with Teerco....
Also, excessive heat can come from old wires, corrosion of wires, bad or loose connections. |

Re: State of charge meter and solenoid problems.
I have the correct Selnoid from the dealer now so that should solve that. Is there an accurate bar type state of charge meter I can get, would rather it be more like a fuel gauge than a digital read out.

Re: State of charge meter and solenoid problems.
For the uneducated, mount a State Of Charge list next to the digital meter substituting-
"Full" for 100% " 1/2" for 80% "Empty" for 60%. . |

Re: State of charge meter and solenoid problems.
You can learn to read a meter just like a fuel gauge and in fact there is a chart that does the math for you. Look in the sticky's...

Even my better half can read the voltage and look at the chart to judge the battery level... Sorry I know that's not what you want to hear but all I've read here (as well as seen) is how junkie and inaccurate bar graph meters really are... |

Re: State of charge meter and solenoid problems.
I purchased a meter from CartsUnlimited and love it. I was only accustomed to the bar graph but this is better. It is accurate and I plan to put a chart with the meter like Tag50 showing the full tank voltage in green, 1/2 tank voltage in yellow and empty voltage in red. This would be simple enough for children to understand :-)

Re: State of charge meter and solenoid problems.
If you have a 36v TXT (didnt say), the stock solenoid "its supposed to have" is painfully undersized.
