Default How long does a charge last

Hello,

I working on building up my cart it is a 2008 ex go mpt. Today I had it at the farm and went about 1.5-2miles on one full charge it was light to moderately hilly terrain. Is that normal? I would have thought it would run longer. It is a 36v system and a 250amp controller

it all depends on what you call hilly and how much power you used

sounds like it is time to do individual battery tests...

Is there a process for individual battery testing on this forum

Excellent batteries of the proper SIZE will give a stock cart 100 minutes of pedal time.

100 min at 12 mph
R x T = D

100 min = 1.66 hours

12 (mph) x 1.66 (hours) = 20 miles

Add more weight , hills , lights, radio .... expect less

Golf courses expect to get, roughly, 2 rounds out of a charge (12 miles or so)

Use a multimeter with leads long enough that you can clip onto the batteries and hold the meter in your lap. Go find a good steep hill and drive up it while observing the voltage drop on each individual battery and the overall pack. Report back what you get. Should be able to tell what's going on by those numbers

This may be a really dumb question, but when you check the individual batteries, don't they have to be disconnected from the pack.
