I don't know how you plan to drive it, but for me I drive all over and go from 100% to 75%'ish then plug it in for an hour or less and I'm back to 100%. So unless you're taking really long trips, it recharges fast enough that I've not had a problem and it's sort of a non-issue. |

Re: ICON Owner's Master Thread (until more are created)
Thanks for the info. That’s reassuring. The farthest we will go is a 14 mile round trip ride on a 35 mph beach road (we will likely be going max speed of 25 or so). If we can manage that trip without issues, we will be happy. Thoughts?

I do a similar route (7mi round trip) up the coast of CA but I'm going slightly uphill part way on both directions, which uses more juice and I think I end up in the low 70% or high 60%'s, but again, the "bottom" is around 54-56% because the meters aren't that accurate...which is pretty common with EV's. I believe longer cruises though don't seem to use as much battery because you're only maintaining speed. I notice more where I have to stop at every stop sign and light, waiting with my music blasting, etc. I think that's more on the battery. |

Re: ICON Owner's Master Thread (until more are created)
Hey BigGulp..
I have an I40 with 8x6v Crown 260ah agms. I typically run 10 to 22 miles. Even 28. The color graph never budges 97-98% on numerical read out with a ScottyB volt meter (I purchased and dealer installed) at 20.3 miles 51.3 volts and 27.6 miles 50.5 volts soc as read by ScottyB's volt meter. The instrument panel volt meter always read .7 volt higher. I know agms are different and my I40's on board charger had to be removed to accommodate the 8x6 volts Crown agms. Also the delta q charger does not have the specific profiles for my Crowns so now am using a Eagle Pro 4818i specifically profiled by Lee Fisher of Batteries by Fisher rep for both Dual Pro, Eagle Pro and Crown Batteries. So my numbers may not necessarily correspond to yours given the differences in batteries, chargers and that my I40 is not lifted. In my small community many stop signs about very 200-300ft and various hills as well. Even so contrary to the lead acid battery loosing juice and slowing down after 10- 25+ miles ...my I40 despite carrying a 630lb very heavy battery pack is amazingly lively even after longer runs...as if fresh from an overnight charge. My cart recently hit 29mph despite the heavy bat pack and climbing. Had to stop for a stop sign.. Well while not apples to apples..hopefully this will give some insight Happy cartin' |

Re: ICON Owner's Master Thread (until more are created)
Thanks a ton for the detailed responses guys. Super helpful. Hopefully this is the right spot for my random questions on the i60l.
I haven’t had a chance to go to the dealer yet but plan to Sat. Does the charging port accept a J1772 type ev charger plug? It sure looks like a J1772. The area that we want to go that is 7 miles away have a slew of EV chargers. I tried to call ICON today but couldn’t get through. The dealer didn’t know. Likely we’d be okay on one charge round trip. But knowing I can use the stations would eliminate the range anxiety. |

https://www.performancepluscarts.com/ Ask for Cameron he is a can do service oriented manager and should be able to get a satisfactory answer for you. When I ordered my I40 they had to remove the delta q on board charger and and install a different power port that could handle the dc current to my 8x6 volt battery pack. The factory port is for ac and was questionable regarding whether it could handle high amp dc current over time. Happy cartin' |

Re: ICON Owner's Master Thread (until more are created)
Has anyone found the plug that ICON uses? Want to make a cable to keep on cart for opportunity charging

Re: ICON Owner's Master Thread (until more are created)
So I got a hold of the software and need to make my cable. Been trying to contact Atrain as while Im VERY software and tech savy, Im still nervous about playing with this. Ive heard horror stories about people bricking controllers. I plan on only playing with two or three setting so should be ok. If anyone has any contact with Atrain please send him my way. I check my DMs and posts on here rather frequently.
