6x8v Precedent 2005
Hi all, I have just installed 6x8v into my 05 Precedent.
My conundrum is the break in process versus the 'charge after each use' recommendation. I only use the cart for golf and 1 round only takes it down to 92% not anywhere near the 50% recommended.....l cannot do extra miles on the course or at home l live in supurbia! So far l have only done 3 or 4 recharges, l was lucky enough to have the Club Championships which involved playing 2 days in a row which let me get them down a bit over the 2 days....then charging. During a normal week l play Sat., Mon., Wed. and Sat. again.....this either means leaving the cart uncharged for the day/days between which means NOT following the 'charge after each use' recommendation. Your thoughts would be appreciated. What would you do? Thanks in advance. |

Re: 6x8v Precedent 2005
Cheers arcitech, the guys I play with pay in beers for the ride so it is partly a financial commitment NOT to hire
BTW what does it cost to hire a cart for golf in the US? Here in Australia it can be up to $35x3 devided by 2 is $50 a week....the cart pays for itself in a year! I often get asked how I keep my batteries so clean....so regular maintenance is already to the fore. Thanks for your comments. |

Re: 6x8v Precedent 2005
In Australia it is called the 'beer economy'....one of our breweries even run a campaign on it...."2 cases to your mate who you accidentally sent your girlfriends latest picture to his mother!" that sort of thing.
Here is a pic of the 6x8v...[IMG]<img src="http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i244/driver33b/515663ee.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>[/IMG] Last edited by driver33b; 10-30-2011 at 01:27 PM.. Reason: Pic address |

Re: 6x8v Precedent 2005
Aussie, if your using it that little its not gonna hurt anything to just charge it once a week..........i wouldn,t worry that much about plugging it in after every use with that little of it...............once a week regardless..........................

Re: 6x8v Precedent 2005
If you are using the SOC chart as your reference, new batteries usually are a higher voltage at rest (52v+), I would charge the cart after each round of golf regardless.

Re: 6x8v Precedent 2005
Thanks guys...much appreciated....they are holding 51.8v for 36hrs after charging and going down to 50.6v a couple of hrs after golf....I will charge them Wed's and Sat's for the next week or so and there after every use, thanks again.
