Battery info
 

I have searched this site and cannot find a sticky or thread on how to properly test the batteries in my 36 volt 07' EZGO PDS. I have searched the internet also and found three different ways, which all three ways the tests are showing all batts are good. Still not sure, Thought I would ask the experts!

check Scottyb's section on batteries on his site. this one gives you a lot of info on what you should see with a digital meter and specific gravity.

With a load tester and hydrometer:
5.8v...1.275 on all three cells
5.7v...1.275 on all three cells
5.1v...1.225 on two cells, the other one was a lil higher
5.8v...1.275 on all three cells
5.8v...1.300 on all three cells
5.7v...1.275 on all three cells

this was after a full charge completed Friday afternoon, test was today at 2 pm about 65 degrees

Are you sure that your charger is working? Those batteries are really dead.

i would really be concerned about the one with 5.1 volts not the voltage but the 1.225 SG reading thats not good at all................................8)
