Sounds like you have a good set of batteries. From my experiences, you may be the exception having a cart that can travel 50 miles. What kind of cart do you drive?

Most carts cannot go 50 miles on a charge. Very few should do so without discharging the batteries too low reducing the life of the battery pack.
