Re: my dad makes me laugh
Unless you have money to burn, I would suggest it is more practical to do the math on paper before you buy and do the actual work but that's just me.
amps drawn while running cart a set time Amp output of charger per hr horsepower needed to operate charging unit horsepower of little 2 cycle engines and number needed. this is just for starters |

Good father son project. Might not be the most practical but who cares. If you can have fun and companionship thats all that counts.

Re: my dad makes me laugh
You would be better off with a Honda generator, than a weed eater motor and some sort of alternator. Some generators will run 8 hours on a tank of fuel - But wait - A gas cart will run for DAYS on a tank. It wouldn't be a bad "action plan" as a backup on an electric cart - though...
Just buy a gas cart if you want to burn fossil fuels! |

Re: my dad makes me laugh
When we were down at the PGA show last year. Tomberlin had several hybrid 4 passenger carts they were using as shuttles. They ran them thurs, friday and part of saturday. 8am to 5pm.
All the carts had 2000 watt honda generators in the bagwell that ran the onboard chargers. The generators ran non stop for the 3 days including all night when the carts were not being used. The drivers were gentle on the throttle taking off and kept max speed to about 10 mph but all the carts stayed going. And none were ever connected to any other form of charging. In fact they worked so good ezgo,club car and yamaha all complained until the PGA finally told Tomberlin to park them. Tomberlin's point was if you needed a electric cart with super extended range it was possible. Was it more fuel efficient??? I dought it.To have a generator running wide open for 3 days straight probably used alot more fuel than a gas cart. But when you didn't need the extended range standard charging made it super effcient. |

If Tomberlin was using the Honda EU2000 generator, I doubt they burned that much fuel.. The EU2000 is a variable speed "inverter" generator that matches engine speed to the output required.. I doubt the little Hondas ran much over an idle most of the time.. IIRC, they can run up to 15hrs on a gallon of fuel.. They also weigh less than a Trojan T105.. Honda EU2000 Generator |
