How To Read The Voltage On Your BatteryUpdated a year ago

If you have a Multimeter on hand, you can use the following instructions to get a battery reading.   If you do not have a Multimeter, you could go to a store such as Batteries Plus or another type of battery store locally for you.  

When testing a battery, we need to make sure we're using the correct DC voltage test settings, otherwise, you'll get inaccurate results.  For instance, when testing a Cart Tek main cart battery, your settings should be as follows:  

ANDERSON

Insert the probes into the battery cable:   Positive in red, Negative in black. Your results for a fully charged battery should be at ~29.4 volts.  This is a partially depleted battery:

A fully charged battery is ~29.4 Volts

The caddy may start cutting out at ~24 Volts

A fully depleted battery is generally around the ~21-22 volt mark.  

XLR

Insert the probes into the battery cable:   Positive in #1, Negative in #2

Your results for a fully charged battery should be at ~29.4 volts.  This is a partially depleted battery:

A fully charged battery is ~29.4 Volts

The caddy may start cutting out at ~24 Volts

A fully depleted battery is generally around the ~21-22 volt mark.
