Yeah, I forgot to mention that it didn't come with a charger. Sooooo. went out to the guy that had the cowl and batteries.

He kind of said the same thing. My batteries might be ok.

So, I bought an older CC charger, the cowl and some other misc. parts. Came home, and the charger came right on. Which means it was holding 27v all this time, right?

It was on for about 5 minutes, I turned the key, hit the pedal and she wanted to go.

The batteries are dated either '11 or '01, so we'll see. The last country club tag on the windshield says 2011. Maybe they were new that year.

I have a power drive 3 charger for sale if your looking for a newer charger. It came brand new with my 2010 cart. I just changed to a dpi charger. It's a 48volt charger though.

Thanks, but I just landed one. It's charging away as we speak.

And fail. These batteries are gone. It will spin the wheels if I jack it up.. barely.

Good news is the pedal seems to trigger all the solenoids. So, hopefully the new batteries will get me rolling. Here's what I've got in mind. Minus the lift, and some different wheels and tires, but very similar.

That's the kind of deal I'm looking for. Build it how you want it. I would definitely go 48V. Is the frame and suspension in good shape?

mike_dmt · 03-06-2015, 07:22 PM

Yeah, the front cowl support is a little wonky, but not bad.

This series of cart doesnt seem wise for me to to upgrade to 48v, flip-wise. But I figure I'll roll it for a while, flip it, and then shop for a 48v CC, or a gas EZ-Slo to upgrade and do everything that this cart wont get.

Got some batteries today. Wired it back up and....... slllooooooowwww. Maybe 8mph... Any ideas?

mrgolf · 03-09-2015, 07:05 PM

Make sure all the batteries are wired into the system. I'm sure you've already checked that, but it is the first thing I would check.

Ya. Did and done. It's charging now. Maybe the new pack was low? I dunno. But it rips in reverse, and slow in forward.
