Golf carts are also known as electric golf carts. Electric golf carts are environmentally friendly passenger cars designed and developed for golf courses. It can also be used in resorts, villa areas, garden hotels, tourist attractions, etc. It has excellent performance, novel design, and comfortable and safe riding. From golf courses, villas, hotels, schools to private users, it will be your most convenient short-distance transportation.
How to save energy in golf carts?
The power savings of electric golf carts can increase driving range. How to save electricity? You need to pay attention to the following points:
1. Avoid rapid acceleration of electric golf carts
If you start to accelerate rapidly, the current in the high-voltage circuit will be very large. Frequent rapid acceleration starts will affect the life of the motor controller and power battery and shorten the cruising range.
2. Avoid sudden stops of electric golf carts
Try to avoid sudden braking and sudden stopping, because sudden braking will not only accelerate the grinding of the brake shoes, but also the current feedback caused by emergency braking will also affect the motor controller, affecting the mileage and the life of the motor controller.
3. Keep the driving speed of the electric golf cart stable
When road and traffic conditions permit, electric golf carts should maintain a stable driving speed. After the vehicle starts and accelerates to a certain speed, you can relax the accelerator pedal appropriately to maintain the current speed.
4. Keep the tire pressure of your electric golf cart normal
Golf cart battery maintenance
1. Do not store without electricity. The power shortage state means that the electric golf cart battery is not charged in time after use and is prone to sulfate. Will cause insufficient battery capacity. The longer a battery is left idle, the longer it takes for it to become damaged. When the battery is not in use, it should be charged once a month to extend battery life.
2. It should be inspected regularly. During use, if the mileage of an electric golf cart suddenly drops by more than ten kilometers in a short period of time, it is likely that at least one battery in the battery pack has a broken grid, softened plate, and short circuit such as the active material of the plate falling off. Phenomenon. At this time, you should go to a professional battery maintenance agency for inspection, repair or matching in time.
3. Do not discharge with large current and try to avoid instantaneous large current discharge. High current discharge can easily cause lead sulfate to crystallize, destroying the physical properties of the battery plates.
4. Master the charging time. The battery is generally charged at night, and the average charging time is about 8 hours. If it is slightly discharged (short mileage after charging), the golf cart battery will be fully charged quickly. If it is continuously charged, it will be overcharged, causing the battery to lose water and heat, reducing the battery life. Therefore, it is best to charge the battery once when the depth of discharge is 60%-70%. In actual use, it can be converted into riding mileage. Carry out necessary charging according to actual conditions to avoid harmful charging.
5. Prevent high temperature exposure. Electric golf carts should not be exposed to sunlight. An excessively high temperature environment will increase the internal pressure of the battery, forcing the battery pressure limiting valve to open automatically. The direct consequence is increased water loss from the battery. Excessive water loss from golf cart batteries will inevitably lead to a decrease in battery activity and accelerate the softening of the electrodes. During charging, the casing may heat up, bulge, deform, and other fatal injuries.
