Club Cart suddenly stopped and

[DPForumDog]

I was driving our golf cart and stopped to look at my garden. All of a sudden I saw the garden sprinkler was about to shower me so I gunned the pedal. The golf cart jumped for a second and then stopped. I had to get the tractor to tow it to the barn.

The cart has 4 batteries. My husband checked the voltage and found that 3 of the batteries were fine with >12 volts each, but one battery only had 10.3 volts. So he temporarily swapped the bad battery and the golf cart now works. He also found the connection wasn't tight, so he figures that 4th battery wasn't charging.

BUT ??? I have to wonder what I did to cause this? Could gunning the accelerator pedal to hard cause this? I know the cart was working fine up to them moment I slammed on the "gas" pedal.

I do not know the model but the serial number is PQ0528-522714. I am sure someone can tell me the year and model from this #.

Thank you!
