Default Re: Cart temporarily stops after 2 blocks

Welcome to BGW> Possibly one dead battery.
To do this test correctly you will need a voltmeter. Check the water level in each cell. Check that all wires are secure and your connections are clean. Now with the voltmeter check the voltage on the pack and on each battery, draw diagram and # your batteries. Write down the test results next to each battery #,

Example:
Pack voltage = 36.2v
Battery #1 = 5.7v 30min after charged = 6.4v when cart stopped 6.2v
Battery #2 = 5.3v etc.

then charge the pack. After the charge cycle is complete wait 30 minutes and repeat the tests, write down findings. Then go for a ride and when the cart stops, pull out the tester and test all batteries and the pack again, write it down. By now, you have a pretty good idea about the condition of your batteries...Post your test results here and we will see what you have.......
