Melted battery post
02 CC/DS 8ga 700 amp EMP motor
I have not used my cart for a while so I put it on charge last night. I got in it this morning and went about 300 yds before it quit. I lifted the seat and the pos post on the #1 battery was melted. There was no other visible damage. The batteries check at 7.53 volts. I am thinking that the connection at the melted post was bad since the batteries were not fully charged. Am I thinking right ? Any other possibilities ? Thanks for any input. Jimmynm |

Re: Melted battery post
I think you are right ...the connection at that battery post was loose and caused the meltdown.

Re: Melted battery post
That's what causes it. Corrosion or loose terminal. You know how to repair it?
Wow! 700 amps! You need bigger cables....Go to #4 welding cable with high strand count. |

Re: Melted battery post
I don't have any idea how to repair a melted post other than replace the battery.
