What resistor are you taking about, the pre charge one across solenoid at large cable mount points or in the case of a regen cart a large resistor used in recharging circuit? Go back to basics and check your batterys with digital meter or better yet a single float hydrometer with temperature scale for corrections? DO NOT use a multi float antifreeze tester as thats all is really good for. Just because batterys are fairly new dont assume anything. Remember to do testing at least 1 hour after being on charger. Look at stickies above for voltage and specific gravity readings to see which battery is causing problem.
Club Car seems to have problems most often with numbers 5 and 6 batterys, which are the ones under driver seat, but any one battery could be defective?
