Default Charge Meter

I have a 2020 RXV(6 x 8v) I’m still in the break-in phase of the batteries. I ran the cart last night and it wasn’t quite to the 75% remaining battery life so I did not put it on the charger. I just took the cart out this morning and the meter is showing 100%. This is the second time this has happened. Anyone else experience this? Is this a faulty meter?

Yes those factory installed meters have a lot of problems. Get a Digital read out meter and hook it straight up to the main + and main negative.

mine will come back up after it rest and I think I read that this is normal with the RXV's.

The voltage drops on lead-acid batteries when Amps are drawn from them, the more amps, the more the drop.
The voltage recovery takes time, an hour or more to full recovery, but most of it is in first 10 minutes.

While some people "point at the gauge" for problems, consider this, the gauge is only "the messenger" reporting what the controller thinks is going on, so if the controller would be telling the gauge "it's time to shut down", itll still be shutting down, no matter who's gauge you trust most.
