Melted Battery Post
My neighbor has a ’07, 48V Ez-Go that he bought used last year. While cruising around the subdivision last week, the last battery post, (+) terminal, in the series MELTED! There was nothing left but a pool of lead. The batteries are only 4 months old. The cart came with a speed chip, upgraded motor, radio, lifted, etc... He is not very handy, so I am trying to help him out. I am relatively handy, just not too familiar with newer vintage carts. It sounds like a current issue, but I do not l know what to check or where to start.
Any suggestions of where to start to find the cause of the meltdown? What other information is needed to help? Thanks! |

Re: Melted Battery Post
Melted posts are caused by a loose connection ..... eventually the amperage begins arcing across the loose pieces until the heat from the arc melts the post. There is a fix...... Oh, and check the water and cables connection once a month

Re: Melted Battery Post
I'm sure some other will chirp in with good suggestions for the cart specific, but for the record, when I've seen a melted post, it was determined that it was caused by a loose/corroded connection which then started the arcing and melt down.
