G19 low voltage blow controller?

benphillips · 08-30-2019, 01:09 PM

Can weak batteries or low battery voltage blow a controller in a G19 or any other Yamaha?

I know it can damage a EZGO DCS controller but the issue was apparently fixed with the PDS. it has some sort of low voltage protection.

I got a G19 with a new controller but batteries are older. Just wondering if its safe to ride a while longer.

Thanks

On G-19 and newer, If the batteries drop too low, the controller will "cut out" until you cycle the "tow/run switch" to reset it.

Not sure about G8-G9. I think if the wind blows the wrong direction, a G14 & G16 controller will blow.
