Battery distance
I have a 2004 48 volt Precedent supplied with new batteries (6 months). Recently I did 27 holes of golf and just made it home.
The batteries are rated 110ah. Is that really large enough for a golf cart and would 27 holes be considered maximum ? I was pretty much at fast speed, does that increase the useage ? What does 200RC mean ? They are a Bosch HCM 31 850 200RC 110ah. Normally I just do 18 holes and never any problems. On this occasion I had spare time and no holdups and just kept going so was a bit alarmed that I was running out of gas. Any comments appreciated. Graham |

Re: Battery distance
Yes I was quite surprised by the distance. I trailered to course so it was only course useage.
Most battery ratings I read are 150ah are higher and so thought that 110ah was really to small but just not sure. I have travelled 2 up before but just 18 holes. I also wondered if running at top speed all the time was significant albeit between shots. |

Re: Battery distance
I play 36 holes a day and think I could go another 9 with no problem maybe more.

Re: Battery distance
Those Bosch batteries are starting batteries. You need Deep Cycle batteries designed specifically for Golf Cart use

Re: Battery distance
OK I didn't realize that. The cart was just supplied that way. I wondered that the batteries were wrong. Perhaps I will have to keep to 18 holes in the meantime
