Thats because the 300 amp alltrax is considered a stock equivalent replacement for most carts and not really an "upgrade"... keep this in mind OP you may want to consider the 400 amp model depending on expectations.

lithium batteries dont really self discharge once the voltage settles after being removed from the charger (other than the tiny amount of current the bms uses) so as long as your cart is wired properly 2-3 weeks is not problem. They actually last longer if not continuously stored at full capacity from what ive read. For this reason I let my rv pack discharge from the bms over the winter without charging and they are still like 80% charged 7 months later.
