Battery exploded
I got a 06 precedent last week and today when I backed it out the carport and started to go forward it went about 10 feet and a buzzer started going off and the battery light came on. I switched the cart on and off a couple time but the light was still on so I pressed the pedal and it went Boom, sounded like a bomb went off under the seat. I lifted the seat and it blew the top off one of the batteries. Anyone know what caused this to happen? Im a little nervous now about putting in another battery and pressing the pedal.

Re: Battery exploded
Bad battery, sparked internally or spark at connection. The hydrogen built up to explosive level, with the right amount of O^2. Be glad you had the seat down. would replace all cables. make sure they are tight. If you bought at a dealer call them to check out, and repair.

Re: Battery exploded
The battery obviously gassed. But where the spark came from who knows. Where the water levels ok? One theory I have is that if batteries are not watered on a consistent basis causing the levels dip too low and overcharged many times, the plates will actually grow, contacting the opposite bridge (strap) and cause a spark. Since it blew up, you have a good opportunity to look at it. I would be very cautious with the other existing batteries as well.
Good luck and be safe. |
