How many amps does a cart draw during charging?
I wanted to know how many amps a golf cart draws during charging. I did some research and found a website that explained that when the charger is first plugged in it draws up to 10 full amps for a few minutes and then drops off to 5 or 6 amps. It also went to explain that the average amount of power consumed is consistent with the following formula:
120 volts x 4 amps x 00hours= xxx watt-hours Is it safe to assume that a golf cart draws an average of 4 amps per hour while charging?:help: |

The cart draws no amps during charging, the charger does however. I pay $.09 where I charge the cart, and $.07 at the other place. These include fuel charges, and transmision charges.

so to charge your cart for
10 hours at an average of 5 amps it would cost at 9 cent a kwh 120 x 5 x 10 = 6000 or 6 Kwh , so 9 x 6 = $.54 and you get an average of 35 miles per charge , My 97 CC Gasser is supposed to get 70 MPG at $2.28, thats still 3 times what the electric cost. Think Ill keep my electric cart . |

Let me ask this, How efficient would it be to have an electric cart and instead of battery's, have a lawnmower engine running a power inverter?Also, how big (wattage) of inverter would it take??

Seriously, it can be done, but I am afraid it will look something like this: http://failblog.files.wordpress.com/...pg?w=500&h=322 |
