2004 EZGO TXT 36v questions
Just traded for this cart. I believe it to be 2004 as the motor has 2004 year on it, being a DE2-4007. Cart has 6" lift, 22" innova tires, non-folding rear seat, headlights and taillights. This is my first golf cart so there will be a ton of dumb questions. The range at this time is absolute crap...less than 3 miles gets me down to 60% (estimate). The batteries are about 3 years 8-9 month old Exide 186 AH. I have been able to hit 18mph with myself and two of my young sons onboard on flat level ground.
I have been looking at those Duracell 220 AH batteries as it appears these are done for. I haven't gotten to look at the controller yet but I'm assuming it may have the red freedom plug? Any and all help is welcomed! |

Re: 2004 EZGO TXT 36v questions
Welcome to the golf cart world. If this is a 36v cart your best performance option may be 48 volt operation. The first steps to a successful upgrade is to A. identify which drive system the cart has in it and , B. Identify the use in terms of load, terrain, and desired speed.
Go here to learn how to ID the drive system and what which upgrades will do for the cart. > http://www.cartsunlimited.net/upgrade-suggestions.html |

Re: 2004 EZGO TXT 36v questions
2004 Sepex is a PDS drive system. This cart will respond very well to the Alltrax XCT48400 control and HD solenoid upgrade. Power will increase 30-35% and top speed on stock (18") tires will be 22-23 mph. Taller tires will increase top speed. More voltage (6/7v = 42v) will increase both power and top speed results by 15%. Have fun and be safe

Re: 2004 EZGO TXT 36v questions
That would be a good price in my area if you are talking about a set of T-105. I just bought a set for $813 including tax, and that was cheaper than the other places in driving distance. Be sure that they aren't selling you a lower grade; Trojan makes another series that doesn't have as much capacity.

Re: 2004 EZGO TXT 36v questions
It's fine, but a charger that goes into "float" mode would probably give you better life, unless you unplug then replug your charger into your cart once a week. Batteries self discharge, and a float charger will keep them at 100% all the time.
I assume you read up on proper break-in at http://www.cartsunlimited.net/ ? Break them in properly, charge them after EVERY use, and restart the charger at least once a week and that charger will do fine. I bought a float mode charger, so I don't have to do anything, even if I don't ride for several months. It's also ideal for folks who leave their carts unattended for weeks or months at a time. http://www.cartsunlimited.net/battery-faq.html http://www.cartsunlimited.net/battery-break-in-.html http://www.cartsunlimited.net/batter...they-work.html |
