98 club car doesn't wanna go!
Hello All,
I am new to your forum, and fairly new to carts. I bought a 98 cc, 48 volt about 2 months ago and it has been running great. However, about a week ago, it sat outside for a couple days and didn't get on the charger. When I hopped on it to take it to the garage, it was going VERY slow, I didn't even think it was gonna make the 200 yard trip! I assumed the batteries were just low. When I got off of it at the garage, I notice a slight burning smell. I opened up the seat and couldn't find anything hot, burning, smoking etc. I again assumed it was because the batteries were low, and maybe the motor was straining to move because of it. Anyway, I charged it overnite and the next day it was a little better, but not like normal after a charge...it has slowly gotten worse, and now it will barely move. The bateries are showing 48 w/o the charger, and 52 with the charger hooked up, all water is good, batteries are 2010 Kings. All battery connections have been cleaned. While checking the battery connections, I found a faint burned smell on the what I discovered is the "potentiometer"? Could this be the culprit, or not likely? What else can I check? Serial # is: A9837-694370 Any info on this is GREATLY appreciated! |

Re: 98 club car doesn't wanna go!
Fully charged batteries shud be 51v without charger and +- 64v near the end of a charge. Seems your batteries are +-45% charged. Is your charger being allowed to switch itself off. Can be up to 16hrs.

Re: 98 club car doesn't wanna go!
The charger only charges the batteries to about 52 or 53 volts before it shuts itself off...it is a cc "Power drive" charger. I unhook it and hook it back up, and it will run a few minutes and shut off again-never more than 53 volts...does this sound right?
