Battery melt down on G1
Well take a look at my golf cart battery and give me some suggestions that caused this, I just completed going up a steep grade and the cart smelled hot so I lifted the seat to see this. I don't believe the terminal was loose but you can see that the lead post has melted.
Should I just replace that single battery? I know that is not good but the batteries are only 13 months old? Thanks |

Re: Battery melt down on G1
I agree. The post can be fixed a couple of different ways. Scrap the cheap battery cables too.

Re: Battery melt down on G1
Melt down is caused by a bad connection at that terminal which makes it get hot enough to melt the lead. You can drill and tap a hole in the post to reconnect - but get yourself some decent battery cables.

Re: Battery melt down on G1
If the connection got loose, it will cause the melt down. You can see that your cable got real hot near the battery connection.
