Dead 2005 EZ-go
I took all 6 batteries out of the cart to clean the rails underneath. I did not know setting the batteries on concrete could damage them, but have since learned that is likely.
I put all 6 batteries back in, installed all the wiring as before, and I am now getting nothing, not even the reverse warning buzzer. The batteries do give a spark but I haven't checked the charge with a voltmeter yet. Any suggestions??????/ |

Re: Dead 2005 EZ-go
Are all your connections hooked back up correctly? Are all your connections clean and tight?
Have you tried charging them? Personally, I think the old battery on concrete theory is a myth. |

Re: Dead 2005 EZ-go
sounds like something is wired wrong.Does the charger work when you plug it in??
I think somewhere that the newer batteries doesn't matter about concrete.Unlike years ago.Not sure. |

Re: Dead 2005 EZ-go
I have a hard time believing that setting your batteries on concrete long enough to clean will do any damage.. However, if they were weak, and near failure, moving them may have made a plate collapse..
make sure you don't have the polarity reversed on a battery.. it's a pretty common mistake.. |

Re: Dead 2005 EZ-go
Who told you sitting batteries on concrete would damage them? Thats not true. More than likely you have a cable hooked up wrong.

Re: Dead 2005 EZ-go
Those batts would have to sit a REALLY long time to do any damage. I always put them on a 2X4 just to be safe.

Re: Dead 2005 EZ-go
The batteries and concrete is a mythe. Old batteries it would take months for them to go dead. The newer ones want care where they are.
Now if you are getting sparks I would say you have something wired wrong or a battery is in backward.oops: |
