ok guys, give me the bad news !!!
Went out a rode 2 - 2 1/2 miles today on a full charge and notice the battery meter had dropped a couple of lines. I came home and put the Voltmeter on each.
#1 6.21 #2 6.22 #3 6.24 #4 6.28 #5 6.23 #6 6.22 I then put them under a load (tires against a wall with slight pressure on the peddle) and all of the batteries read in the 5.55 to 5.60 range. As I was riding I also heard the "beeps" that someone asked me about, I couldn't tell if it was 2 and the 1 or if it was 3 and then 1 because I have them muffled and some dogs were barking at me plus the roar of the tires. It's time for new Trojans isn't it ??? |

Re: ok guys, give me the bad news !!!
2-1 = low battery voltage. 3-1 = solenoid driver failure. You really need to know the beeps. My bet is on the batteries.
PS, you also need to begin saving for a new controller - Alltrax 400 amp. Your stock controller will soon fail, as well. This is why we do not lift PDS carts at our shop... |

Re: ok guys, give me the bad news !!!
The shop I got mine from said they had about a 10% failure rate on the controllers in the PDS's. Said they preferred not to lift them, but would at a customers request. I chose to do it because it was the best looking cart they had and I knew I'd be spending Battery and controller eventually, but it seems to be sooner than later !
Which one these do I need and whats this controller gonna cost me at your place ? |

Re: ok guys, give me the bad news !!!
Sounds like you need the batteries first. Check with the site sponsors for controller pricing. 10% failure rate? I really question the ...... - I think I had better just stop here. You need batteries...

Re: ok guys, give me the bad news !!!
I like the Alltrax 400 amp programable for a lifted PDS. Don't forget to upgrade to 4 ga cables. The cart should have been built with them, if it was done correctly. If not, you should add them ASAP.

Would you go ahead and swap out the controller or wait on the other one to fail ? |
