Hour meter
Just bought a 1999 CC Villager. It has an hour meter on it that says 700 hours. Is that a lot of hours for an electric golf cart

Re: Hour meter
Depends on when the meter starts, at key on or when rolling.

Re: Hour meter
good point. I'll have to check that out. Say it has 700 hours rolling, is that a lot for a 1999?

Re: Hour meter
For a 1999 model I would wonder how many times it has been rolled over. If it is possible to rollover.

Re: Hour meter
I doubt if it was turned over, it's a 6 digit meter. It reads 00700 .5 hours. I got it from a fancy apartment complex that used it to shuttle people around.

Re: Hour meter
Your right it would have had to be driven about 7000hrs a year to roll over. And there is only about 8000 hrs in a year. On the other hand 700hr works out to be 50 hours a year for 14yrs. Which could mean it sat a lot. Back to the original question I would say that is not a lot of hours.

Re: Hour meter
my carts runs anywhere from 1 to 3 hrs a day so to me 700 hrs is nothing

Re: Hour meter
Let's see, I play golf about 300 days a year, the carts runs I would guess 1 to 2 hours each round. Something like 4 to 600 hours per year. I am on the fifth year on these batteries. BTW I don't get a round in, in that time, there is a lot of waiting.

Re: Hour meter
700 hours at 15 mph is 10,500 miles. In my life that would be 2,625 trips to a grocery store/hunting. Or thereabouts. That would be a load. More likely 5,250 trips for beer over 14+ years. Just thinking.
