Re: need help on ezgo marathon
Cables overheat for 2 reasons:
Dirty connections Loose connections Is corrosion present? Are the cable old and brittle? Are the lugs in poor shape? An '87 with original cables needs a new set NOW! I prefer 6g Welding Cable for it's low resistance, flexibility, and longevity. |

Absolutely NOT!
That cable is gonna get so hot it will melt the battery terminal. Fix the cables, or prepare to buy more new batteries. |
