Abstract

A golf vehicle includes a chassis, a front axle coupled to the chassis, a rear axle coupled to the chassis, a battery pack supported by the chassis and including a plurality of battery cells, an electric motor powered by the battery pack, and a vehicle control system. The vehicle control system includes a battery management system coupled to the battery pack and a motor controller coupled to the electric motor and the battery management system. The battery management system is configured to monitor the battery pack, detect a fault, and trigger a discharge protocol for the battery pack in response to the fault to prevent an overcharge condition. The motor controller is configured to provide direct current power from the battery pack to the electric motor to discharge the battery pack in response to the discharge protocol.
