RoyPow battery tie down
Does anyone have a picture of how they are securing a RoyPow battery to a Precedent so it won’t move?

Re: RoyPow battery tie down
Mine came with a mounting bracket that bolts to the floor of the battery tray. I had to drill a few holes, bolt the bracket down, then bolt the battery pack to the bracket.

If I drove it far enough to take out those top 2 bars (about 10 miles in my use case), it would take right at 56 minutes to charge it back to 100%, and the charger to stop. It should be minimal, but whatever energy monitor you have isn't able to measure the BMS itself's energy usage (or the SOC meter's), since it's not passing through the shunt. That seems to be the wildcard in the RoyPow setup for precise energy monitoring. I know what my controller draws idle, but there is no way to know the other constant slow drain on the battery from the BMS / SOC meter themselves. I've just taken the approach of "it probably doesn't matter" |

Re: RoyPow battery tie down
I already had the digital volt meter with my FLA batteries, and I installed the RoyPow SOC gauge next to it. The DVM is basically worthless now since the RP battery charge changes very little until it is almost exhausted. The RP meter seems to be very accurate. I haven't noticed it losing any bars from sitting as I use my cart at least twice a day so it never gets to sit very long.

Re: RoyPow battery tie down
Thanks. Do you bolt the battery down in 2 places? It looks pretty close to the edge so I'm not sure how you could tighten a bolt in place.

Re: RoyPow battery tie down
It is a little tight, but easily doable, especially if you have a long socket extension. Here are some pics that I downloaded from someone else's installation...
