How Far Can I Travel
Just for the heck of it I was trying to calculate how far my 2002 48 volt series cart will travel. I am sure it is not as simple as I have made it.
Starting Voltage 51.5 Ending Voltage 50.8 Volts consumed .70 Miles traveled 4.7 Feet traveled per .10 of a volt 3,545 50% state of charge voltage 48.41 Voltage available 51.5-48.41=3.09 31*3,545= 20.8 miles (approximately) that can be traveled So I should not travel more than 10 miles from home if I want to get back. I know temperature is a factor and probably voltage consumption probably is not linear. But is this somewhere close? Lot's of people out there smarter than me concerning this. |

Also consider weight, hills or anything to put a load on the batteries.

Re: How Far Can I Travel
You got that right CTD!
I have johnnieb's spread sheet so I'll plug in some numbers. So, I get: AH used=25.5 AH /mile=5.4 Calculations say: 15.7 miles to 50% state of charge remaining at 50° F 19.6 miles to 50% sate of charge remaining at 80° F You didn't state AH at 20 hours of the batteries. Would be nice to know. I assumed 170AH (T875s or equivalent). Last time I checked my cart I was using 2.5AH per mile. Yours is twice as much. Since your in Fla I'll assume flat so not hills causing this. I have some questions if you want to pursue this further. This is the math. Use it to estimate only. Real world could be quite different. |
