48v Club Car is slow
I am working on a club car that was given to me. I have the brand new batteries in (Napa Deka BCI #24DCM). It is running slow. I have a low tire that I couldn't put air in at that time, but can't see it making that much of a difference.
Is there anything that could be making it this slow? I have not put it on the charger yet (due to charger not working) but gauge reads the batteries are fully charged and they are reading 49Volts. |

Re: 48v Club Car is slow
That brand of battery is not a main brand ? what amp / hr rating is it ?
Did you leave your batts charge over night before putting them in ? 49 volts is not high enough , need to let your batts charge on charger Overnight ! Good luck |

Deka I think is a decent battery... Break them in correctly, they will not reach their full potential for several charge cycles. Is the cart stock? |

Re: 48v Club Car is slow
Del have you checked and made sure your brakes are not dragging?
Jack the back of the cart up and spin both back tires to verify no brake resistance. How slow is cart running? Is your cart stock? I have a powerdrive2 working up for sale if you need one. |

Re: 48v Club Car is slow
Correct me if I'm wrong but it looks like a marine cranking amp battery not suitable for golf carts.
