Re: 2004 Precedent with new batteries going slow
Erict--> Correct I have flipped the numbers above: my 1 is 4 above and 2 is 3 and 3 is 2 and 4 is 1.
I just swapped out #4 (as in the diagram above) with a voltage of 9.86V after use. It felt warm - all others were cold. |

Re: 2004 Precedent with new batteries going slow
What came on it: headlights - which are rarely used and not in last month or so. I have brake lights but they dont seem to work and has been that way for a few years.
Nothing else |

Re: 2004 Precedent with new batteries going slow
Good idea Just disconnect the blue wire on battery #4 and tape it up. Charge the batteries back up and report back.

Re: 2004 Precedent with new batteries going slow
Ran cart today after charging with accessories disconnected:
Had no issues with cart. Voltage readings after round: (Battery positions below are the correct way round) Battery #1 12.2V Battery #2 12.3V Battery #3 12.2V Battery #4 11.9V So looks like something in accessories is causing a drain - yet none of the accessories are being used. |

Re: 2004 Precedent with new batteries going slow
Yes no problem. And our course is VERY hilly. It went up hills better than I have ever experienced - probably due to the PQ motor.
Battery light came on when I got home but went off again. At the voltages above. I measured voltages all way round. Also at this time of year - temp was 37o (yes Im a hardy sole) so probably not expecting much more than a solid 18 holes with no slow down. Now I did two things: 1) I changed the battery #4 (as it previously read 9+V after 18 holes) to another battery that was checked by a dealer and said to be good. 2) I also disconnected the accessories as you advised. Not very Design Of Experiments like to do this but one or other solved the problem. I am now going to switch back the other battery and see if same result. The amazing thing is that before this when I put the cart on charge it charged for 7-8 hrs. When I disconnected the accessories it charged for 14 hours |
