98 TXT Freedom Question
Hello,
I would like to know if this sounds normal to you. I have a golf cart as listed in title, when I charge it and use it it works GREAT, almost being able to pop a wheelie but, when I get about a half of charge left (battery indicator on dash has 1/2 bars as full) it starts to slow down- still able to climb hills but it does definatly slow down. When I go to recharge it it works great but only for that 1/2. Any help would be great or if this is normal- thanks |

Re: 98 TXT Freedom Question
I'm not sure, but you may have a misconception about when to charge the batteries and how far to discharge them.
They should be charged after each use. (Fully charged is 38.20V for a 36V battery pack) They should never be discharged to 50% State of Charge or below. (50% SoC is 36.31V for a 36V battery pack) As for the bar graph type gauges, they've been known to tell more lies than politicians. Get a Digital voltmeter type, so you will know what the actual voltage is. It is normal for cart to be slow when the batteries are low. |

Exactly what happened with my cart. Just as JohnnieB suggested, I got the digital meter and also left the bar meter hooked up so I could compare them. When my bar meter read half down, the digital was in the low 35s. Yes, I have new batteries on the way.
