Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of electric golf cart control, and more specifically, to a control method, system, device and storage medium of an electric golf cart. Background Art

[0002] At present, electric golf carts usually use electromagnetic brake mode. The advantage is that when the ignition is released, the motor feeds back power to the battery and slows down, which can save some power. The disadvantage is that when the battery current is high or the reverse charging protection is disconnected, it will suddenly brake, causing personnel safety problems.

[0003] The existing technology uses a relay protection solution to solve the problem that MOS tubes are prone to large current or reverse charging protection, but it cannot solve the problem of full charge protection power failure when the battery is at a high SOC and then goes downhill, because the excess electricity generated when going downhill cannot be absorbed by the battery pack when it is fully charged.
