It doesn't take many amps to turn the tires when they are in the are, so there isn't much voltage drop across the resistance in the cables,connectors or contacts. on the ground, more amps are drawn, so the voltage drop is more. When driving cart, do any cables, etc. get hot? |

Re: Sluggish acceleration
Perform the controller test for your cart. Since the cart operates ok in the air, the potentiometer (ITS) is ok. It won't fail under load. This problem indicates either problems with the batteries or controller.

One thing I want to confirm. The positive wire from the charge receptacle should connect to the solenoid's battery side large terminal. (If it isn't, the batteries will be charging through the pre-charge resistor across the solenoid's large terminals and the batteries would most likely be be undercharged.) It sounds to me like both the battery pack and the controller are in reasonable good condition, so that leaves the motor, solenoid, F/R switch and the high current cables. I'd check the high current cables and F/R switch first. |

Re: Sluggish acceleration
Cables about the thickness of your fingers.
They connect the batteries in series and connect them to the solenoid, controller, F/R switch and motor. Should be 13 or 14 of them. |

Re: Sluggish acceleration
I had issues with my F/R switch at one point, which JohnnieB was suggesting you check as well. Was getting really hot, arcing across the contacts, essentially just worn out. As suggested, after using it check to see if some of the cables or the F/R switch are hot, may help you narrow things down.
