Hot Battery Terminal

SF_Wood · 07-23-2018, 10:39 AM

I think the batteries are about 4 years old. When I bought the cart the guy said he had them replaced 1 1/2 years before and I've had the cart for a little over 2 years. I cant find a date on the batteries anywhere. After a full charge the pack itself was 50.5v. If a battery is going bad would it cause the hot terminal? I'm in the process of updating all of my cables to 2 gauge so I've already thought about replacing the batteries since I was tearing it all down.

Replaced all of the cables and it seems to have fixed the hot terminal problem. It also has reads 51v with a full charge now

Had the same problem but my meltdown ruined the post beyond my ability to repair but I was lucky enough to find a good used battery that was within a month of the same age of my bad battery...swapped it out and upgraded the cables and removed all the split lock washers that the local dealer had installed. Been good for over a year now.
