Re: 99 Ez-Go TXT Standard DCS battery condition

Thanks Today's testing: Un-pluged the cart, hooked my Dvm to the battery pak. Read 37.9v. Left the Dvm hooked up while playing with my handy voltage % chart from here.(thanks!) Watching the factory 10 led and comparing what the Dvm was reading they stayed in sync. I was a bit surprised based on what your pictures showed. So anyway, at the end of the round the Dvm was reading 37.3v so just shy of 80%. The led meter agreed and was at 8 bars. My next step when I have the opportunity will be to do a thorough cleaning of the battery connections. They aren't bad now but I want to know they are good. So to the condition of my batteries, they are Trojan T-105s, the code on the neg post is G5. The golf course I use it on is in the Ozarks so lets call it moderately hilly 18 holes. Based on these numbers, whats your folks consideration of the condition my batteries to be in? For what we have in the cart we can buy a new battery pak and be where we want to be with it. However we don't want to do that if they are in good shape for the age and we can get good use of them. Also, would continuing to unplug and re-plug the charger help the health of the batteries in any way? Or is this not needed? Thanks for sharing! |

Re: 99 Ez-Go TXT Standard DCS battery condition
No one is throwing red flags so I guess I'll run with the battery pack being fine.

The important thing is that you’re playing a full round of golf with plenty of juice left. The pack is doing way more than you need it to, so I wouldn’t worry about it. FWIW-I live 2 miles from my course. With a good 36v pack I used to be able to get down there, play 2 rounds, and get home. My cart did 22-23 then, so maybe I was using a bit more battery than your cart does. Before I upgraded to lithium, my pack was in pretty bad shape. I wasn’t golfing anymore and was really only using the cart to go to the park and back. It was slower uphill, but it was fine for the time. As your pack depletes, you’ll lose speed and range. As long as those are still good enough for you, then you’re good. |

Re: 99 Ez-Go TXT Standard DCS battery condition
In a perfect world the bar meter and the battery pack SOC would stay in sync and the meter would correctly reflect the pack State of Charge. However, it is easy enough for the meter and the pack to get out of sync as seen in my picture. If you are not going to replace it monitor the pack and be certain the bar graph meter is not allowing the pack to be depleted further than the ideal limit as this would result in a shortened useful life of the battery pack.
In conclusion. Install a battery voltmeter or keep a hand held one close-by and check the pack voltage regularly for the best results. |

Re: 99 Ez-Go TXT Standard DCS battery condition
Thanks to both of you. That's the kind d of real world experience I need to hear. I will monitor the voltages, complete the maintenance along with doing the back to back charging and see if that improves things. And yes, the cart is performing what we want.
