36v ego troubleshooting
I've got a 2009 Ezgo 36v with roughly 2 year old lead acid batteries. All cables look fine. It works just fine Initially in a full charge of about 6.5-6.7v per battery. After about 30 mins of use on mainly flat road, Im having a very difficult time getting up a moderate incline. Especially my driveway from a stop at the base. Overall voltage at that point is between 29 and 31v on a full throttle. Resting voltage at that point is 6.1-6.3v per. Is it just the batteries or something else? Its just not putting out enough torque to get up the incline unless I dont slow down at all before climbing it. I'm not sure what else those symptoms would indicate failing.

What is the make/model of the batteries?
What is the battery pack voltage about 12 hours after the charger shuts off? (See attached SoC chart) Which drive system (Series or PDS)? Sounds like battery issues. |

How steep is your "moderate incline?"

I honestly don't know the drive system. I dont have a tow switch and I would guess series but again I'm not 100%. |

The incline isn't anything crazy. It's about 15 to 20 feet long and rises roughly 5 ft from curb to garage.

What make/model charger? Also, the individual battery voltages ought to be within 0.1V of each other. You pack may need to be equalized. No Run/Tow switch means it is a series drive. A 5' rise on a 20' run is a 25% grade, which is the max recommended incline for an EZGO cart. ------------- The standard 6V battery used in a 36V pack is 225AH and you have 215AH batteries, so they won't have the range as the standard 36V pack and that will be a contributing factor for having trouble getting up your driveway at the end of a trip. Also, are the tires stock height (18") or are they taller? |
