Alltrax DCX 400 Settings

[chasenfish16]

I am about to put some new batteries in my 36 volt 2001 Ezgo PDS I have an Alltrax DCX 400 controller and I am curious what I should set the undervoltage and overvoltage at to help protect the batteries.

Also I would like to know what most people have there throttle up and throttle down settings at. Mine is currently at 8 and it can be a little jumpy, I dont remember what the factory settings were.

I am looking at purchasing (6) US Battery US 2200XC. Does anyone use these and what are their thoughts on them.

Thanks in advance

Stay with Trojan or Crown go for max amp /hour and max .weight to give you max.range min 245amp /hour , I would go 260 amp /hour from crown , do not cheap out on batteries !
Cheers !

With all the Alltrax controllers people use on this forum nobody can help me with the settings? or opinions on US batteries?

now now... please do not get to Excited.. The guys on this forum will give you more info than you can handle.. I am sure of that.. I am not sure what mt settings are on my alltrax 400. They are whatever the factory settings are.. as far as the batts go.. DO NOT CHEAP OUT ON THE BATTS.. you did not cheap out on the controller did ya?

go trojan with a goof amp/hr rating..

I am not get excited, just asking for some assistance. I know there is alot of knowledge and experience out here about Alltrax controllers and different brands of batteries.

I dont believe the Alltrax DCX 400 is considered a cheap controller, also I dont believe US Batteries US 2200xc are considered cheap either it is the same weight and 225 ah as the Trojan T-105

Alltrax sets under voltage at 20v. I disagree. I set it to 27vdc for 36v operating systems and 37vdc for 48v systems. I never want my batteries drawn down any lower than this under any circumstances. Factory throttle setting is 5 up and down.
I hope this helps

What do these setting accomplish? If the set voltage is 27 and drops below that does the cart shut off?

Scotty, thanks that helps alot. Do you have any opinion on US Batteries?

One thing about min voltage is the steepest hill you have to overcome, with the largest cargo and deadest battery. That's where you will experience the highest voltage drop. It also depends on tire size and/or rear end ratio. I had mine set too conservative (dunno the settings before or after), and they would momentarily drop below that point while climbing my steepest incline. If you live in flat-land, you have it easier.

As to throttle up and down, it's kinda a personal thing. Higher throttle down is fun at first, but is hard on all of the electrical and mechanical components. Ultimately, you want it to be responsive, but not too aggressive. Don't wanna spill no beers!
