Default Breaking in new batteries
Is there anything that I should do special to break in new batteries on a Yamaha cart? Thanks

From my reading, it is recommended you take it a little easy for the first charges. Google it...

Battery Boys recommends this, although I have never been this regimented...

Yes there is a break in period before the batteries get to full capacity.

It takes about 25 charge cycles to get to full power. Don't discharge the batteries below 50 percent during this time.

This is my rule of thumb for the entire life of the pack. You think that is being overly cautious?

Batteries are not suppose to go below 50 percent.

Actually there are two sides to this coin. Here is a link to a post from when I was younger which quotes Trojan manufacturing... You will have to look to get the answer

I looked.... but the answer for me was buy gas. But the post from almost 6 years ago was interesting.

Yeah, trade it in on a new '17 or '18 Yamaha gasoline golf cart. You'll never have to worry about burning your house down while it's plugged in.

Drove one of the new carts at red fox today. It was so quiet it was hard to believe it was gas

Really? I was told not to charge my brand new batteries unless there were 3 bars. That is less than 50%. That is what I have done for the first year of owning our 2016 Yamaha electric cart. I was told this is how to condition the batteries.
