`02 txt cart problem...

[mutant]

i have new batteries reading 35v-when i connect the large black wire on the neg side-the pack reads 7v ??? i get no hot places and the charger is also not charging-even when the charger wires are the only ones hooked up(power wise 28115go4)...so i am stumped and still tracing out all the wireing but dont understand the drop i am seeing......also-is my TXT a resistor cart? help

Check the voltage across each battery with the neg connected. You may have a set of discharged batteries, one or more bad batteries or a bad connection.

Double check that one or more batteries are not connected backwards. The whole series of batteries should be connected + to - all the way through, then check the receptacle and insure the charger will see the same 35v in the receptacle you see across the pack.
If it all checks out you may have a bad receptacle radsok connector(s).

all batteries read 6v when i put them in and are in exact sequence as indicated in the ezgo non-pds section...also-with the wiring hooked up the cart wont do anything-it does beep when you put it in reverse...

What do you read across each when you get the 7 volts when you connect Negative? You mention you measured 7 volts. Was that across the pack positive + and Negative - ?? Something don't make sense.

After a polarity test, every Battery conferms proper polarity and you can check wiring connections in picture above... still don't understand why i'm not getting any reaction to throtle peddle etc.

I ask again. Where did you measure the 7 volts in original post 1 when you hooked everything up? Was that across the whole battery bank plus to minus?

just ran a load test and 1 battery is defective-thanks guys,i am learning...

I would be suspicious how good the rest of them are. 6 volts on the rest of them indicate they need charging. Glad you found the problem. Nice looking set of batteries and jumpers.

7v was at the 1st and last terminal ,so yes, the whole pack...
