Thermal Overload?
My cart will completely lose power occasionally- I turn the key off & wait a few seconds and everything is fine. Never has happened on the road- only when I'm trail-riding. The trails are sandy but not loose and the cart doesn't seem to be under a big load. Here are some details about my cart:
2006 EXGO PDS 6 inch lift 12" Wheels with 23 x 10.50 Tires 36 Volt Stock Controller 2 Adults Riding I've done some searching on the forum and it seems that the stock controller shuts down due to thermal overload. Am I correct? Thanks in advance! |

Yes, and the thermal protection mode is going to come quicker and easier to get into over time .... Time to start thinking about a bigger controller. |

Re: Thermal Overload?
ScottyB- Thanks for the quick reply.
I'm gonna ask Santa to bring me an Alltrax DCX400 I've been pretty good this year. Question-- I plan on replacing the stock battery cables- would 2 gauge wire be over-kill? From what I've read- a 400 amp controller, an upgraded solenoid, and new cables should work with the stock motor, resolve the loss of power, and give me more torque and a little more speed? I would love to hear your opinion. Thanks again. |
