2002 Club Car Electric slow up hills
serial # AB0230-170647
just put in new 6V batteries and the cart seems sluggish on uphill but fine on flat. i looked and there is no rpm sensor on the motor. it has a single selenoid below the forward and reverse switch. it also has resistor coils that seem to be ok. any help? |

36V, resistor coils. That's ancient technology. You're going to have to sprinkle a lot of money on that one to get it up to standards.

Sounds like typical operation, the 2 hp motor needs to slow to make enough torque to climb any hill. It will slow but it will not stop.

Its a series cart. Replacing ALL the heavy/standard 6 ga. battery cables with larger gauge (4 is good, 2 might be better) will help you climb hills a bit better. It will slow, but not quite as much. All the large dia. cables must be up-sized for you to see the benefit, not just "some" of them.

Re: 2002 Club Car Electric slow up hills
Thanks will do
i just checked the speed going uphill and without changing anything its at 8mph. i am going to check my gas cart later and see if its much better. I need to decide which cart to keep the 2002 electric or the 89 club car gas. seems like the gas cart is easier to maintain. other than a little cold blooded on cold mornings its been great. |
