I agree, but I do not have a problem with the results. After all it was a contest for a cause. They were showing off the fact they have 8-6 volt batteries by design, other manufactures can do that. The only issue that could come from this is that people who do not understand battery care start driving their cart too many miles per charge and wondering why the batteries last 18 - 24 months.

Is Karguy still out here? He may know how test was done. I promise you they had proper tire pressure, front end alignment and zero brake drag. However they did the test we can learn from HOW the cart was driven. The pack takes the biggest load when starting from a stop, doing this more gradually is smart driving for all of us sparkys.
