95 cc losing power 48v system
Hello all
I have a 95 cc non regine that takes off fine then looses power. It has 09 batterys that were replaced for this problem lol (guess what still have problem). I didnt replace them owner did. All conection are clean & tight every connection is in good condition, brakes not binding, any suggestion? Thanks in advance Rick |

Re: 95 cc losing power 48v system
95 was the first yr 48v .... I was very disappointed in my first ride in them also. they are actually slower than a 36v cart IMO.... If the batteries are good and the cables are good then that's just the cart.

Alright you got me on that one. I was going but what he had said & the date code on the batterys. I have a hydrometer coming on the tool truck this Thursday I can check it with that
Thanks Rick |

Hydrometer and load test them. Sounds like one may be dropping out on you under load.
If your tests don't point out a weak battery, connect the dvm to the pack and drive the cart with one eye on the meter .... let us know what you find. |

Re: 95 cc losing power 48v system
ok still waiting on the tool truck to come tomarrow (there bringing me a load tester) but in the mean time I charged the pack & let it sit over night. I checked all the cells in all batterys with a new hydrometer all are between 1.275 & 1.285 does that help in any way? after checking the batterys I test drove this pig again its still seem way slow when it hits a slight grade.

Re: 95 cc losing power 48v system
So it was slow with the old batteries and the S/G says all batteries are good but ......... it's still slow?
It is a Series cart..... they are slow and steady by their design.... I would look for at least 45 volts under load.... if you start with a fully charged pack. |

Re: 95 cc losing power 48v system
Yes, if the batteries and the cables and the connects are are all good then you could be loosing performance from worn brushes...
