Could be a single battery going down. I would load test each battery to see if there is a weak one.

Have you tested the batteries under load? ... given us SG and voltage readings 12 hours after the charger was unplugged from a 12 hour charge? I think not

My guess is 1 maybe 2 bad batts

2-5 miles is all you get out of the batteries and they charge for 12hrs.!

If this is all your getting then batteries are shot.

What do you think about that super top speed I got....lol... after I get new batteries will a plum quick bandit do me any good or is it just a waste of money? my controller is a stock 275 but I am planning to get a alltrax 400 as soon as I get some extra dough

Thumbs up Re: powe wise never drops below 5 Amps

12 MPH is right for the cart on stock controller. If the batteries are holding a good charge that should go all day like that on flat ground.

New batteries new bandit new cables in good shape with all good tight conections, 16-18 MPH!
