Re: New Batteries, slower speed
The Links Series charger is not OEM so You would need to confirm model number so we know if it needs the OBC or not.
The battery voltage requested should provide You a good idea if they have been installed correctly. The Controller Speed code 4 does not get lost during power out, a lot of vendors ship them programmed with speed code 4 and it is not an issue. If the shop had an inexperience tech that tried to check the Controller settings for you and did not know what he/she was doing, they could have gone into the seed code section and not know how to re-enter the unlock codes in order to re-select speed code 4. You should also verify the S/N on your speed code 4 sticker still matches your controller just in case. New batteries still deliver the full voltage (top cart speed) when brand new, it is only the "range" that improves after 50 charging cycles or so. |

My experience with the FLA batteries has been the bigger (higher A/H) batteries you have (which usually weigh more), the longer it takes to fully break them in and season them to be at their strongest yields. Just another perspective to a nebulous process..... |

Re: New Batteries, slower speed
I agree that the voltage on the new batteries will sag a little more (or sooner) under load until the plates are fully formed, but I don't think it could drop that much to explain the loss of speed reported, something else has changed.

Re: New Batteries, slower speed
If the voltage readings requested are good then Sergio's tech theory is most likely correct.
Get the voltage readings first but - If a shop did put these batts in call the shop and ask them what happened to your speed? |

Re: New Batteries, slower speed
Now that I have a few more minutes, if you had a shop change your batteries they may have shorted something and blew your controller. Thus knowing this they may have just replaced it not knowing you had sp code 4.

Re: New Batteries, slower speed
Also check the air in your tires. I know it sounds funny, but I've had that happen before and get a couple of mph out of just airing them up to spec.
