Question about battery chart and break-in

[rp197@yahoo.com]

Hello folks,
I have a 2003 TXT series 36 volt cart. I just replaced all the batteries with Trojan605's (B1's brand new) and starting the break in. I am reading the break in instructions as I need to run it down to 75 - 80% (after initial full charge) and then charge completely. Does that mean I can look at the chart with 38.20 volts as a 100% charge and wait until my pack voltage reads in the 37.3 to 37.49 range before charging again completely?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Since wet cell batteries have no memory , any time U run it for 15 minutes , plug it back in and let it charge.
Keep distilled water 1/4 to 1/2 above plates .
to get batteries to peak performance it can take up to 100 charges.
So next year sometime U'll be rocking :)

Yes, that would be fine. You do not need to be exact, the idea is not to discharge the pack to low... a lighter discharge of even 10 or 20% works fine as well, Usually a 15-30 minute ride does the trick.
