Amps, Volts, and 6 Batteries - Question!

claytoncolleran · 06-16-2012, 06:49 PM

So, I'm pretty sure I know the answer to this question, but I would like to get my head around it before dishing out 5 or 6 hundred bucks.

Scenario... cart full charged reads 53.7 amps and 36.52 volts.
I run it for a little over a mile at 12 MPH full throttle.
Pull back through some 2 week old grass in the yard and it starts to bog down a bit.
Park the cart and it now reads 52.9 amps and 35.85 volts.
I park up against a wall and full throttle till the motor starts to vibrate (wheels not powered enough to spin). While on full throttle, the amps drop to 45 and 30.4 volts.
Pull cart, ride around yard and cart is running about 7mph at full throttle... with hardly any torque.

So...batteries shot, or something else? Thanks.

Batteries now, .... and controller, solenoid, F&R, and maybe a motor too if you keep testing it up against the wall until it can't even try to go anymore!?

I hope this helps.

Indeed... I'll try not to make a habit of it.
