Sparkies can be expensive at times.

But, they're just too cool all the other times!

Finally got time late yesterday to road test drain and recharge...... as you know I installed 6 8v Crown 225ah batts. 4g cables. OBC. Low charge warning indicator light (light came with the obc so, what the heck) and used charger.
Hilly pavement test area. cart started at 50.9 volts 6 hrs after charging. Ran about 6 miles in 30 minutes up and down, up and down. Riding the gas and brakes down.... I know but I needed the drain, No coasting and no over reving. Stock 97 CC ran 12.5mph up hill to start and 10.4 at the end dipping to 47.5 volts on the steepest hill. Batteries settled at 49.4 (about 70%). I monitored the recharge until I went to bed ... Everything is working as it should. Haven't been out to check the voltage this am?

It shouldn't have been.... there was a lot of grumbling about a certain sweater basket and that little plastic catch all thing? I finally removed the rear access cover, the passenger rear tire and the passenger seat back to access the controller

Took longer than I thought it should but I'm slow
