I guess my main question here (aside from the bad cell) is "Is it normal for the max voltage to be around 49.5 for 2 year old batteries? Or do you suppose that could be that way because the previous owner didn't properly maintain them?" |

Re: New member, dead battery cell and voltage concerns
It's normal for a battery to be @50.9 volts fully charged. While charging the voltage should read about 58.5Volts.

Re: New member, dead battery cell and voltage concerns
Since both of your voltages are reading 1.4 volts low I suspect defective test equip. See if you can come up with a different meter and try again. BTW nobody has ever asked "How does your cart drive" Are you having any problems or are you just concerned about this one battery reading low.

It runs just fine but seems like the range is not what others say. If I leave the lights on I get about 7 miles of continuous running. Others have said hey get almost 20 or more miles |

Re: New member, dead battery cell and voltage concerns
Well it looks like we've eliminated all possibilities except you haven't mentioned the equalization charging yet. Try that and see if anything improves. If not look at buying 6 new batteries. The other 5 that are reading 8.25 are also bad. They should read 8.5v fully charged. I'm going to attach a message written by David Hicks (Golf Cart Genius) see it it helps.

The batteries are PD Plus. I tried back to back equalization charging by just unplugging and plugging back in. Still 49.4 or so. It's hard to find what a normal range should be. With big wheels and lots of accessories what would you people say would be an acceptable range. |
