Re: Extending driving distance
Just one thing to add. A 3.3 hp golf cart motor is 2500 watts not 10,000 watts and the current would be drawn from the battery pack not the generator.

Re: Extending driving distance
Seems like we had a thread on this subject a year or so back. You are right I was being a smarty pants .
If you haul a generator with you that could run your charger. You could disable the safety function that keeps the cart from running with the charger hooked up, then hook up the charger and run the generator and charge your batteries while driving the cart. Don't know if it would put charge back in as fast as it was coming out or not.. I really don't think it would be good on the batteries. If you needed to drive the cart 50-60 miles one time it just might work. On edit Just re read your first post. Yes it would work. You cart would be running off the battery pack. The generator would be trying to keep the batteries charged. Go for it and let us know. I would start by making sure it would charge while setting still. I think it would need to increase you voltage while setting still. You pack should be 50.9 if the generator will bump that up to say 52-54 volts it may work. |

Re: Extending driving distance
Unless you can find an old Ferroresonant charger, I cannot imagine any smart charger or charging system like an OBC will work with the cart being driven while charging.
