Loud bang then cart quit
My son was driving our 1999 EZGO electric cart. He had gone about 100 feet and heard a very loud bang then the cart stopped and will not run anymore. I assume that something failed in the motor but I have no idea how to troubleshoot. Any suggestions?

Re: Loud bang then cart quit
Check under the seat for an exploded battery. If that is the problem report back for suggestions. Odds are it is not the motor.

Re: Loud bang then cart quit
Usually when battery lets go it blows the caps off. Any missing? If you have a volt meter, check the pack voltage and let us know.

no battery caps are missing. each battery measures 6.5v. the series measures 39.1v.

Re: Loud bang then cart quit
No consistent unusual noises. I did hear a "pop" (lower volume than the initial loud bang) when I first attempted to drive it after the initial bang. it seems to attempt to drive (fwd and reverse) by making an almost-undetectable-jerk when trying to drive it. battery meter light shows full charge. reverse beeper works. i do smell battery acid when i try to drive it.

Re: Loud bang then cart quit
yep,39v without a load, 26v and smoke when pressing the accelerator. battery stickers say April 2004. If I have one bad battery then must I replace all 6 of them?
