SOC is fake news.
So I decided to push my cart as far as I could before it became unusabe. After 33miles of flat out the SOC gauge read 32% and was down to 11mph. Keep in mind I have reprogrammed my cart to 6000rpm so most of the time it was full throttle. by 55% max speed was 22mph. At 32% I was sure I was dead withing a mile. Super happy with 30miles though just an FYI

Re: SOC is fake news.
Sorry my friend to burst your bubble....But....
....state of charge is not fake news...just ask bobbyb or scottyb.. Before my I40 wa delivered I had my dealer install this volt meter.. highly regarded here on BGW ...the on board volt meter will always read .7v to 1 volt higher than the scottyb meter.. have a look https://www.cartsunlimited.net/battery-meters.html Forgot to include this article on how to properly break in new fla batteries https://www.cartsunlimited.net/battery-break-in-.html Best wishes on your new ICON |
