No power to climb hills
I have a 1992 Club Car DS with a 36 volt system. The cart has good power and goes great on the flats but has a lot of trouble going over hills, even small hills. Once over the top it takes off and runs great again. The previous owner said the batteries are only a year old and the cart seems to have been well maintained. I have no experience with electric carts and do not know where to start to trouble shoot this problem. Any advice would be very much appreciated.
Thanks, Tom |

Re: No power to climb hills
Connect a digital battery meter to the pack and note the starting voltage and then the voltage while struggling uphill. If these reading are more than 6v apart you may have a weak battery. Go back and do the same test for each individual battery. See if one drops more than 1 volt. A drop of 2v indicates a dead cell
Hope this helps |
