Re: Upgraded to 48v, charging dilemna
water loss is erratic and unpredictable from what i have observed on here-bubbling is normal but there is no way,to my knowledge,to use it as an indicator of amp sufficiency or proper charging stage profile....

The Voltage vs SoC charts are the averages from a statistically significant number of mature batteries discharged under controlled conditions. New batteries will have higher than average voltage and older batteries will have lower than average voltage. The at-rest voltage will also vary by battery manufacturer, Trojan being the lowest voltage and US Battery being the highest voltage. What make/model are the batteries you are using? Tapping two 6V batteries for the 12V accessories will kill those two batteries and harm the rest. Use a voltage reducer fed by the entire pack or use a separate 12V battery for 12V accessories. |

Temperature, atmospheric pressure and several other factors influence how vigorously the batteries gas, so it cannot be used to estimate quality or quantity of charge and water usage is unpredictable. |

RC 105, Amp Hr @ 20hr: 205. The 12V setup by manufacturer is only for lights and turn signals, I tried to disconnnect but it seems the ground does other things besides just the signals and lights so I left them alone. I seldom use either. I have a separate small 12V AGM Deep cycle size U1 battery that has 45 reserve capacity for accessories. |

Re: Upgraded to 48v, charging dilemna
Electric golf carts generally Never use a "ground" like a car does. The TXT electric falls into the category of "never uses a Ground".

Re: Upgraded to 48v, charging dilemna
What I meant by that was when I disconnected the negative black wire from battery that corresponded to the lights and blinkers, other things on the cart stopped working. So that led me to believe that there were more than a few items that used that same wire as the ground. It would be a lot of rewiring to resolve so I left it alone.
