Re: To charge or not to charge.... wtf is the question?
I've found some things about my charging issue but haven't quite nailed it down yet. When the engine is cold it charges at 15v with reading taken at the battery. In an hour after running almost non-stop when it's hot it was charging at 13.8 at the battery. Then after 3 hours of running nearly non-stop the charging was down to 12.3 at the battery.
I guess I'm gonna have to drive it around one afternoon and get it hot after an hour or so and then do some testing. Right now by the time I'm done driving to get it all hot and bothered and not charging it's 3am and I'm too tired to be messing around on the cart.
Until then I've been pulling the battery after every night of driving it and charging it at home. I hopefully will do the testing in the daylight hours and figure it out this week.
