Correct, meter only runs when solenoid is energized

I am cobbling data together from the Yamaha warranty sheet here, but here goes. Their warranty is listed by 4 different metrics, 4 years, 1000 rounds, 20,000 amp hours, and 500 hours. So it sounds like Yamaha is implying a round is 1/2 hour (not that I believe anyone actualy plays a round in 1/2 hour).

That makes sense if you think about it. In a round, there probably is about 30 minutes of driving involved. 30-45 seconds at a time... swing, drive a few hundred feet, stop. Repeat.

Unless you're me. Could take me 20-30 minutes each swing of.driving through the woods to find my ball, or at least a ball some other golfer lost that I can claim as my own

So, if I am reading this right: That would be 250 rounds per year (less than one per day.)

I would say depending on the course and where it is (climate) that same cart could be used for 4 rounds per day seven days a week. Big difference.

So 130 hours would be roughly equal to one year of course use, or 260 rounds according to Yamaha.

Great info. That is what I was looking for. The cart is in an area with cold winters. It was purchased in 4/17. Used 6 months for 2017-2018-most of 2019.
30min run time per round would make sense.

Thank you everyone! I am going to look at and pick it up on Sunday!

I will report back.

The rule of thumb has always been 36 minutes of run time, 2 minutes a hole.
