I'd have to say she drives a minimum of ten miles per day, going to the pool in the mornings, running to the grocery store afterwards, and going to someone's house or the rec center to play cards or mahjong. She uses her cart every day and drives the crap out of it before returning home. I might have to wait until she goes up North again this summer to visit relatives. I am curious as to what the maintainer will do with her's IF I can get her to leave the cart long enough for me to experiment. Right now, I have a cheapo battery desulfator hooked up to her battery pack. Now that I know what to expect with my fairly new batteries, I want to see what I can do with my wife's OLD batteries. Of course, I did NOT disconnect it and let it sit over night as I do usually with the regular cart charger. It appears as if the maintainer tops the regular charge off a bit, adding a few volts. I always connect the charger after using the cart, even if I only go a short distance. These Trojan batteries are about a year old and have been well maintained. I guess I drove the cart about six miles round trip and when I got back, the meter showed where it would normally show the day after I had finished using the regular charger(middle to high white area). The analog battery meter showed the charge in the top red area, which the regular charger doesn't ever reach other than when it is at it's surge charge mode. I needed to make a trip down to the Ace hardware store for some weed killer. There was a steady yellow light, indicating that it was finished charging and in the maintenance mode. Everything went as described and the maintainer finished charging the battery pack in a couple of hours. It had been a couple of days since I had used/charged the cart.
So, I hooked the save a battery maintainer up to my golf cart, using the alligator clips (for lack of a better description).
