Re: Batteries seem to be failing prematurely
Quote:
But shouldn't matter if the batteries have been maintained & charged after each use. 13 month batteries should be good to go for another several yrs. The batteries are name brand and check within a few one hundreds of a volt between each other. The individual battery voltage is good between batteries, just low. Pack voltage on those batteries in my limited thinking should be around 52V after rest period for their age. My thinking is the batteries are not getting fully charged. An OBC reset may correct the problem? |

Re: Batteries seem to be failing prematurely
Sitting will have a huge effect on the batteries. On the charger or not. I see it every season where I'm at.
First, I'm going to say your battery numbers are OK. Don't see an issue. But if you are worried, have a complete discharge test done. That will give you your answer. You could wait a couple more months before the 18 month warranty is up and then have them tested. If I understand correctly the cart is being used once every 6 weeks. For a mile? or 20 miles? It makes a difference. |

Re: Batteries seem to be failing prematurely
As far as useage. Typically ride around the neighborhood on weekends. Gets less use in winter but it doesn't sit all winter either. Always plug it back in after use and if I haven't used in a week during he winter I unplug and plug back in to keep charged. The odd thing is it will hold at the 50-50.3 level for several days. Not getting fully charged my br the issue.

Re: Batteries seem to be failing prematurely
Disconnecting the pack for more than 10 minutes will reset the OBC.
I assume You have a single negative cable and it runs through the OBC to controller B-. |

Re: Batteries seem to be failing prematurely
I hope I don't have the same fate as you teecro.
I just got a set of Crown CR190's and they will sit four and a half days a week and then get run into the ground on Saturday's and Sunday's. Then back on the DPI until the following Friday evening. This will be the case seven months out of the year. Over the five month winter, I'll run the cart for maybe 1/2 hour - 45 minutes three times a week. I am hoping to get 4-6 years out of them... |

Re: Batteries seem to be failing prematurely
Guys I appreciate all the comments and suggestions. Unfortunately I disconnected the negative cable for an hour or so and tried again. Same outcome.
