Default All I know is what I have....

On my cart batteries anniversary date my lab assistant and I head out for a road test seeing how far we can go to drain the pack to 48.4 volts. I then share the numbers to be consumed by 2 or 3 readers on this forum....

Last year I tested my TWO year old 8-6v pack and the gory details live here:

In summary on two runs the cart went between 45 and 50 miles to reach 50% SOC. On one of the runs we continued, going out to 63 miles where the ending voltage was 47.6. A virtually dead pack is at 46.63, which I estimate would have been about 77 miles.

Just the facts man.... just the facts

My cart 6-8 volters is reaching the one year anniversary and I will bore the forum after that ride soon

PS. I budget for batteries lasting 3 years..... time will tell
