First Log: New Controller
 
Here is a very quick log... can you all tell if something is off? Specifically, take a look at battery voltage at 100% throttle and output current... shouldn't the output be higher?

Not sure if this matters - but this was immediately following the first charge after adding water to the batts....

Re: First Log: New Controller
 
Your battery voltage seems a bit low at 0 throttle. 38.3 volts is too low. A 36 volt pack should be around 40-42 volts just sitting. Other than that everything looks ok.

Re: First Log: New Controller
 
Here is a log from someone on BU using the exact same controller...

Look at the output - albeit he may be running 48volts.......

and to add, that the battery was near being dead

The output is fine...it will only draw what you need. If you and your buddy go for a ride and log it the output amps will go up.

The controller only put out 220 or so amps because thats all the motor needed at the time. Go pull a steep hill and log it and you will see what I mean.

Not claiming to be an expert here but just wanted to clarify the situation here to see if it will stimulate some others. If I understood some of your othe threads this controller is not on the carts listed in your signature but for a brand new (2007) cart you are working on? Thought I read on here that the batteries take several charges to reach maximum efficiciency.

Re: First Log: New Controller
 
No - this controller is in the 2002 PDS with the relatively new Trojans.

Pulling a steep hill - the amps went well past 500....

I spent almost an hour with Alltrax... basically - they said that all systems were basically a go - and that the speeds were good. I tuned it a bit to their specs...

Torque is the big gain here... 1 person in the cart on flat ground versus stock with a chip will be almost the same... 2 people are a completely different story.

I need to get some more wheel time on this. I'll tell you something though -I see 48 volts in my crosshairs!
