Re: CC carryall or transporter battery 8-6v or 6-8v
I put the new speed sensor in and put the supposedly high speed magnet. Cart works fine again but zero gain in speed and the regen braking still works which the magnet was supposed to get rid of.

Re: CC carryall or transporter battery 8-6v or 6-8v
Remember with your new setup you are charging two less batteries so it won't take as long. I had the reverse when I changed from 6 - 8's to 8 - 6's the charge would take longer.

Re: CC carryall or transporter battery 8-6v or 6-8v
Yeah starting to understand. I see that my cart was designed for 8-6v. I'm wondering if the obc only works with that setup as the replacement description say to be used in 8-6v cart setups. Also would using less batteries with the same volts give me less performance such as speed?

Like I said, I did the reverse and it took longer for mine to charge. Also this is what I gathered when I bought my charger for the lithiums, it depended on the AH capacity as to what size charger I ordered. |

Re: CC carryall or transporter battery 8-6v or 6-8v
Ideally your charger should be 1/10 the AH capacity of the battery. So for a Trojan T875 with a 170AH rating the charger should be rated at 17 amps. I've never heard it discussed but I would suppose the regen current should be limited to the rating of the battery.
Consider this situation. Suppose you drive one mile with a high capacity battery and then drive one mile with a low capacity battery pack. Both battery packs used the same amount of energy and if you are using the same charger the charge time would be the same. |

To which the PD charger as delivered with 4x12, 8x6 and 6x8 carts were all 15 amps correct? It would stand to reason that the length of charge would vary according to battery pack and amount of discharge. A 17 amp DPI should charge a little faster yet... |
