Villager rental
So we're renting a beach house and it has this CC Villager for us to use. I'm not use to electric golf carts. Gave it a once over, found 2 cells that were below the top of the plates. Topped them off with distilled water and charged the cart. We made it about 6 blocks before it quit. Very slight alarm noise, just like the backup alarm. Shut it off, started back up and limped it back. Quit 2 more times. Anything easy I can try or are the batteries just shot. It does show charging on the gauge on the charger.

Re: Villager rental
I'd call the landlord and have them fix it. Or at least report it.

Re: Villager rental
Yeah, we called. Not holding my breath they will come out and replace 6 batteries though LOL wasn't listed on the rental agreement so it was just a bonus if it did work...

Re: Villager rental
Probably a bad cell in one or more of the batteries.

Re: Villager rental
If theres a 12 volt charger around you could try charging the eight volt batteries individually till the cart charger will kick on.

Re: Villager rental
But you could have one or more completely dead batteries.

Re: Villager rental
If it wasn't my cart I wouldn't touch it.

Re: Villager rental
Yeah, took it for another quick ride last night with only my nephew and I on it, after about 10 blocks you could feel it start to slow down just a little. Got it back "home" and charged it up again. I'm 99% sure the batteries are kissed. Interstate from 2010 and definitely not maintained. Oh well, thanks for the help guys!
