I have never heard of that before. That would help? Where would you get one? What would be the cost? Is it easy to hookup or install. I probably won't worry...
Hi Folks, As I posted about before, I seem to have damaged my 1 year old battery set by running them down to 20% or so on one occasion. I'm trying to figure...

Paul, Whoever told you that running the lights and flashers would create a load of any value on a 72 volt car is well, politely optimistic. Nothing on the...
Thank you all very much for the detailed advice. I will get a hydrometer and load tester and do the tests. I have a multimeter that reads to 2 decimal places...

Hi Paul; What makes you think that you damaged the batteries? Running the batteries down to 20% occasionally shouldn't do them any harm, it's running them down...
How would I determine what kind of NEV to buy if I wanted it to be street licsenced in FL, one passinger, 25-35 mph,goes 25-50 miles, could be small engine oe...
Hi Paul, I'm going to offer my 2 cents worth of advice for what it's worth. I live in The Villages, FL where we have some 30,000 plus golf carts and a large...

I just bought an 02 GEM. The batteries are 6 months old, but wont hardly hold a charge around the block. I charge them 100% (green light), then unplug. The...
