2000 cc non regan power problem

clubbedcar

I Installed new batteries in a cart I recently purchased,the cart ran great for one charge, then started acting as if the batteries were dead. I replaced damaged cable connection at batteries. Batteries are showing a full charge with a volt meter. When I take it out it performs great and then dies. I let it rest and it does the same thing. I notice a clicking noise from the motor area like when a cart is completely dead.

Did you put on all new cables with the install? Is the car 48 volt or 36?

clubbedcar

It's a 48 volt. I did not replace all cables just the ones that looked bad.

You know it sounds like there is a bad battery in the pack.Does it do a jerking vibrating kind of thing when it quits?

clubbedcar

It does shutter quite a bit.

After you get a good charge on it put on a volt meter and ride around and see how much the voltage drops.This will tell you whats going on with the batteries.If the voltage is dropping real low you will know.

I'll give it a try. I've been reading about rebooting the obc does this apply to my cart? I am a 1st timer with carts. Thanks for the advice

Like golfcarfixer said give the batteries a good charge and then let them set for about an hour to let the charge settle in. Before taking it for a ride to check voltage drop I would check each individual battery voltage and pack voltage and record those numbers. Then either jack it up and have someone step on the pedal while checking the pack voltage or take it for a ride and check the pack voltage while driving. Post the numbers here and we will be better able to help. It doesn't sound like the obc to me sounds like you may have a bad battery.
