Charge indicator
This may be a dumb questions but I have 2006 ez go txt pds and it does not have a charge indicator. Can I wire a multimeter to the 36v loop and read voltage and when I get to half voltage say for easy math 18v recharge as this is in theory 50% or am I way off base. Thanks for the help new cart owner first post.

Re: Charge indicator
Welcome to BGW
Yes you can use a multimeter to read your pack, but 18v IS NOT 50%, 36.31 is 50 % of your 36v pack, never run your battery pack below 50%, which is 36v |

Re: Charge indicator
your cart will cut off some where around 32-34v due to low voltage.

Re: Charge indicator
Thanks for the info. It seems to me this would be better than a led light

Re: Charge indicator
Ever so much Better Print that chart and memorize 50% 75% and 100% readings.... You can recharge at 75% for longer battery life....

Re: Charge indicator
That would work but this did not have the key switch just a readout and i believe it was like $35.

Re: Charge indicator
One more question is this as simple as one wire from the positve post of the "#1" battery and one wire to the negative post of "#6" battery?
