running time?

[Boudie]

I have a 97 DS with 48v trojans batteries.
lifted with mud tires.

With a full charge how long can I expect the cart to run before running out??

Top spped on my cart is 17mph.

Thanks

Should get a solid 20 miles of run time on flat ground with good batteries.

Not sure if this will help..... But here's my deal.....
2002 DS 48V, Trojan T875s, top speed is 19/20 MPH, appx 15 months old (possible maintance issue as prior owner did not keep water level up.) 6 inch lift and mud tires. 700 amp motor.

I have been nursing the batteries back to health....

Last weekend, started with a full charge and 51.5 volts on the pack. Made 2 30 minute runs each day for 3 days. I'll say I put about 15 miles on the cart. Also ran the stereo and the lights (at night.)

At the end of the weekend, the cart still seemed to be running strong and the pack measured 48.5 volts. (which I'm told is 50% of pack stregnth and time to charge.) This coming weekend I will test it at my hunt lease.

If your batteries are in good shape, I would expect at least this performance....

Best wishes.
