Hmmm... The cart has sat since yesterday and the voltage is 50.1, according to ScottyB's dashboard meter. It was charged with the DPI unit, but the results were the same with the QE. Temperature is right at 32 degrees.

Going by your chart, the batteries are fully charged and the reading is 'normal'. I'll have to run the cart a bit so I can see how much it drops and also so I can charge it to do the break-in sequence. My normal usage is very low, as in a couple or 3 hundred yards every week, just to haul the garbage to the burn barrel, etc. Most of the time, I don't actually use the charger, just plug in the 48-volt Battery Minder and let it top off the charge.

Twice/year, it goes to an antique engine/tractor show, where it'll get more serious mileage on it.
