Hey Gleemo,

Thanks for the interest. You guys aren't going to like this but I'm going with a 3 x 12V battery setup cause I just want to tool around the golf course; no serious buggie-ing!

Results are as follows:

12.1 V
24.8 V
36.9 V

Polarity on each battery and across the pack are correct. I've replace just about all the smaller wires, but still haven't got my hands on any 6 or 4 gauge to replace all the bigger ones.

Replaced another fuse this morning and all suspect smaller wires; didn't even have the charger cable plugged into the charger and it sparked and blew the fuse again when I plugged it in!!! Outta fuses now so back to the part store. I may pick up new bigger cables from a welding supply store but still undecided about 4 or 6 gauge. Not looking for any other upgrades; wanna go with stock components.

Should i grab another charger recepticle (dont see any visual signs of burns/shorts) or do you guys still think wiring is incorrect? I've checked it all a thousand times....

Thanks again for all the advice!
