Re: Battery post melting
Melted terminals is attributed to heat caused by bad connections. I say your cables are crap......

Re: Battery post melting
You say you got cables from Canadian Tire? for your cart? I know you said that they were copper....did they make them? what strand count are the cables? but typically what Knothead said is true.....
oh and btw..... Welcome to our happy little corner of the net, and to BGW. There is a BIG fridge on the back porch with anything you can think of in it...help yourself...of course only take what you can LEGALLY have. Make yourself at home on one of the big fluffy couches, kick your shoes off, put your feet up on one of the tables, yes we are allowed to do that, mom's, dad's, wive's, husband's, girlfriend's and boyfriend's here don't care....and take it easy.  oh...btw....every once in a while a food fight breaks out...so you may not want to wear nice clothes here. Welcome!! |

Re: Battery post melting
Golf carts require welding type cable. Automotive type cable will not work.
