Battery indicator/level probs

Volt meters are cheap. $10-$15

Pin #4 is what turns the display On/Off, if You want that to work off the key switch, just remove the jumper to Pin#4 and run a new wire from pin #4 to the cold side of the key switch.

If You can get the full model number of the 906 meter, it will tell you what method and/or high voltage it needs to reset to full.

Did You ever measure the max voltage reached during charge?

someone nabbed cart,should be able to get later..is there a chart somewhere?

its somewhere around 57+ volts,had the fluke hooked up,but evertime i got chance to look it kicked charger offthese batts are only 15 months old and they seem to not last worth a beans.they are Bond/Ramcar/Motolite from PhilipinesState contract so stuck with them

This is the manual for that meter and shows You the possible options for voltage reset (HVR):

Unfortunately You cannot really measure battery quality based on age since it depends on how many charge cycles and at what depth they have endured.
