new batts-was slow

[wedge542]

installed new controller,cables,batts [36v v glide], dig volt meter, was cycling batts bringing down to 36.3 then recharge, on 7th time i notice its a little faster but almost not go up a hill, after last charge i jacked up rear wheels to watch meter while holding to floor with a stick and i seen how the linkage hooked to the v glide so i slide my hand down past the batts and pulled the linkage both ways, when i pushed it backwards further it speeded up big time so i adjusted for this and now it goes full speed, it was like this when i bought it from a guy. cant wait to get these new batts thru about 12 charges now.

Hey Wedge, you can take the cover off of the v-glide and with the key off and cart in neutral, depress the pedal and see if the wiper arm contact is making it all the way up to the final stationary contact.

just went for a spin after charger cut off, its faster than we will ever need but going up a hill now its a diff cart, unreal, i hope this helps someone else sometimes, i woulda never thought about cking linkage till i read it on here, the guy i bought it from like me just never thought about it and lived with it going slow up a hill too, now im thinking i never needed this controller but its on anyway. can realy tell a diff after every charge now how long it goes.

its really refreshing to read that someone is taking the time to break the batteries in right.............................
