Battery Issue/Burned Black Connection
My cart is having a NO GO situation. Solenoid does not click
Resting all batteries read 8.6 volts (they have been off the charger for a week) I inspected my connections closely and saw this. . . Any ideas? |

Re: Battery Issue/Burned Black Connection
Despite the 8.6 v measured voltage I can safely say this battery is toast.
The Negative terminal wiggles. I’m obviously going to have replace this battery. Please tell me I don’t need to replace all 6 |

Was that your problem all along? That could give you a intermittent go-no go situation. |

Re: Battery Issue/Burned Black Connection
Hmmm... bad connection says we...
You don't have to replace it. Drill and tap in the stub next to it. Use a drill stop so it will not drill more than about 5/8". Tap for 5/16x18 threads. Install a 5/16x18 stainless steel stud. You can cut the head off of a bolt 1-1/4" bolt if you cant find a stud. A standard fluted tap will not cut all the way to the bottom, so the stud will only thread in maybe 1/2 way. Thread the stud in by hand as far as it will go, use two nuts tightened against each other to turn it in another 1 or 2 turns so it bites into the lead. Remove the nuts and install your cable. Tighten the nut to no more than 100in-lbs. |

I’m going to replace the cables and the battery. Perhaps I will try Fairtax’s repair suggestion. Hopefully that will get me rolling. |

Re: Battery Issue/Burned Black Connection
Fairtax's remedy get you going to see how it runs. If the terminal wiggles, there might be electrolyte leakage you'll need to watch for.

Re: Battery Issue/Burned Black Connection
Thanks to this outstanding Forum I was able to get my Frankencart ACG H3 (Bastardized with CC parts) back on the road.
The problem was likely due to arcing from a bad connection. See photo. I ended up replacing the battery and also upgrading my solenoid. The cart seemed a little more spirited after the solenoid upgrade. In the process, all the cables were replaced, terminals cleaned with baking soda. Thanks everyone for the support |
