1997 Yamaha G19E running on 36V

shaveme · 08-01-2017, 09:11 AM

I bought this cart last fall, and since i have got it has seemed slow, going up any incline it loses a lot of speed. The previous owner told me it was slow and there was nothing i could do to change that. So last night i get to looking online and find that this cart is a 48V cart, but it is running on 36V batteries.

Would changing the batteries to 48V solve my slow, no torque issues?

I checked the tag on motor and it says 48V, the charger says 48V, so i am not sure why this guy put (6X6V) 36V batteries on it.

Charging 36v batteries with a 48v charger is a great way to burn the cart down. Stop using it till some 48v batteries are in there. It will run much better.

x2 what cgtech said

it will really treat your batteries bad if you use the 48v charger with the 6v batteries. if you must, until you get a set of 8 volt batteries, you can charge two batteries at a time with a 12v car battery charger. yes it will take a while, but it will not abuse the batteries
