New Batteries, slower speed
I have a 2005 club Car Precedent and just recently replaced the batteries. It is programmed with a speed code 4 and was topping out at 19 MPH. I have run it 5-6 times with the new batteries and can only get to 15 MPH. Batteries have been through 5-6 charging cycles. I am assuming that the batteries need to get broken in, but am curious if anyone has had this same issue. Thanks!

Re: New Batteries, slower speed
You might have to let your charger know what batteries you have now.

Re: New Batteries, slower speed
You can’t program that charger.
Speed code was probably erased when the batteries were disconnected. The controller will probably have to be re-programmed to get it back. |

Re: New Batteries, slower speed
Sounds like a good time to get a new controller.

That is a logic controller and unless you modified the controller, your SP4 is still presently programmed. The larger the battery (amp-hours) the longer to fully break them in. |

Re: New Batteries, slower speed
The old batteries could have been the issue. If the old batteries had a weak or dead cell, they could have been causing the higher speed (which I know you want back). Lower voltage from your batteries causes higher amp draw from your motor & controller to compensate. It feels good & fast, but the added heat can destroy cables, controllers, and motors.....ALSO, make sure the jumpers between your batteries didn't get changed to a smaller gauge. That will slow you down.

Re: New Batteries, slower speed
I too am curious what the pack voltage is when at rest and when the cart is at full speed.
