RXV goes for awhile and drains suddenly

RXV Dawg · 03-17-2018, 06:11 PM

2012 RXV - drove approx 5 miles after a full charge and didn't see the meter move at all. Headed home and the meter dropped to 3/4 and then within minutes it suddenly dropped to almost empty - barely made it home. Any clues as to why it suddenly drops out like this?

Sounds like one or more batteries going bad. Hook up a portable VOM meter across the pack and take it for a ride. If an when the cart slows down, see what the voltage is. Then check each battery and you will probably find one or more batteries low.

As said to the previous question, you need to use a VOM to test each battery. One or more are probably dropping out.
