Battery SOC Question
Hi there, my batteries look good according to every chart I’’ve seen showing the SOC for a 48V cart, but that’s at rest. 50.7V at rest. When going up a fairly steep hill, I’m at around 45V. Is this normal or does the chart apply to when there is load as well?

Re: Battery SOC Question
Your good...Rule of thumb is that the pack should not drop more than the voltage of one battery under load...50.7 - 8v = 42.7...Your at 45v...Keep an eye on them..

Re: Battery SOC Question
BTW the voltage meter came from Carts Unlimited, and was super easy to install (really helpful to have the bus bar too). It can be a little hard to see in direct sun but it does it’s job.

Re: Battery SOC Question
BTW...The green led meter from Scotty reads better in the sun than the other colors...At least in Florida...

Re: Battery SOC Question
Is it better to wire the SOC meter directly to the battery pack + and - or go through the key switch?

Re: Battery SOC Question
It is your preference. I like them On so I can see it at anytime. It is a very minimal draw.
