'12 Precedent i2L Regen Braking and Speed Controller
I have a '12 i2L w/ a 48v system and have a couple of questions regarding regen braking, speed control, and batteries.
This is use solely for playing golf and back and forth to county club. I had it programmed to speed setting of 4 and regen to lowest setting. 1. Am I correct that regenerative braking cannot be totally turned off? Therefore coasting down a hill can't happen? Even when programmed to lowest setting. 2. With speed setting of 4, 19mph is as fast as it will go without modification, correct? Are any aftermarket add-ons suggested? 3. Quite often lately, the battery light will come on and go off during an 18 hole round. Is this normal? 4. It seems my batteries aren't getting fully charged, however, our superintendent says they are good. The best way to test them is checking specific gravity with a hydrometer and checking voltage via a multimeter, correct? |

Re: '12 Precedent i2L Regen Braking and Speed Controller
Some additional information on the batteries. At lunch I checked with a multimeter and here are the voltages.
Pack: 49.3v 1 batt @ 8.3v 2 batts @ 8.1v 3 batts @ 8.2v Put it back on charge and will check again 24 hours after charge cycle is complete. As well, will check the specific gravity of each. Me thinking it may be time for new batteries as these are the originals. |

Think I should test with a hydrometer or are these batts most likely gone? |

Re: '12 Precedent i2L Regen Braking and Speed Controller
49.3 isn't real good considering the vehicle hasn't been used since it charged. You can check them with a hydrometer to see if you can narrow it down to one or two batteries, but most likely, they're all very similar in condition and would need to be replaced at the same time. I'd like to add that I just sold 198 batteries to a local golf course because their 2013 PD batteries (Probably the same as yours) would only charge up to 49.3 - 49.7 volts and would only play one round of golf. New batteries fixed their issues.

That's the exact same issue I'm seeing, can barely get one round of 18 on it. I'm going to PM you for battery suggestions.
