Default Using amperage FAST

Is this normal? Charged my Eco Battery lithium battery. unplugged the charger and the next morning it had lost 1 percent from the 100 percent charge. Not thinking a whole lot about it, I went for a 1 miler drive and the meter was registering 96%. 3-4 percent per mile seems high. Not sure how far you can drain a battery till it stops but my math says 26-mile range if I can run it to 20 percent.

Default Re: Using amperage FAST

Many carts will drain 1-3% overnight unless you place tow/run switch into tow. There is still some drain on the battery even with the key off. The meter may not show it because it is only in the 50mA to 150mA range. But that much drain equates to 1-3% loss per day. You didn’t notice it before because you didn’t have a high resolution gauge.

It’s difficult to gauge the full range in a 1 mile sample. Also keep in mind that your right foot also controls the range. Lithium is a lot of fun to drive, and it is easy to be heavy footed with the new power.

AC with large tires is going to use more power than a stock cart by a bunch. I wouldn't be surprised if you get under 30 miles range if you are pushing the speed much over 20mph.

LOL I'll use the tow switch, thanks. And yes I use the full 25 mph on a few streets

As I was assuming but wanted to make sure I was correct. Thanks much.
