So every time I stopped I had to keep the engine idle ing, but brake enough to stop. You have to have a lot of room in front of the cart as it drives off. the other thing you could do is get the rear wheels off the ground, jump the cart and let the wheels spin to charge the battery.

That must have been a sight.
Did you do all that while the seat was tilted up to access the battery?
