wire hot
I had a battery terminal melt the other day.
I fixed it by drilling and tapping the battery and installing a stud. the cable for the post that melted was repaired with new terminals and all battery wiring is 4 gauge. all of the cables were removed and the terminals and battery posts were cleaned with a wire brush. I have noticed that the wire from the battery to the solenoid is getting warm. is this normal? I do a lot of steep hill climbing and other than aggressive 18" tires the cart is all stock. I am putting pretty hi loads on the drivetrain but it still creeps up steep hill. |

Re: wire hot
Throw you an Alltrax XCT controller in there and get some more torque. If that is not enough, you can get a high-torque motor like the Admiral MOT-A4 from our site sponsors like scottyb - Carts Unlimited and Dave Hicks - Revolution Golf Cars.
