It turns out the EZGo has a 120Ah battery (the data is difficult to find and not stamped on the owner-accessible portion of the battery).
The speedometer uses GPS which is older technology so I suppose it could be set incorrectly. The mileage it gives compares well with the speedometer in the other cart (though that too uses old GPS technology). It also compares well with mileages from google maps but of course, you can't trust google.
42 miles to 25% in one long ride and another 45 miles to 25% on a long and busy day. Maybe another 100 yards and it would have dropped from 25% to 0%. I still don't plan to sit on the cart long enough to find out.
