EZGO TX Goes very slow, little power

bward · 04-08-2011, 09:43 PM

I have a EZGO TXT with newer batteries, It runs very slow and sluggish, like dead batteries, I checked the voltage without the charger on and it was after about a mile or so run and then just sitting for an hour or so and the voltage reads 38.2. when I put the charger on, the voltage then reads 40.0. also each battery reads 6.3, one read 6.2.
I hope someone can tell me what and how to check this out. I miss my cart moving like it should.
Thank you,
Brian

Fully charged battery should read 6.37 anything less is a low charge. 6.31 is at 90% of full charge.
How long do you charge it for? Let the charger cut off on it's own. Sometimes it takes 16 hrs to fully charge a new set of batteries.

Check out these threads.....

Is your cart a PDS cart or a series cart? PDS cart will have F/R switch on dash.

If PDS.......

The batteries are on probably their 20th or so charge, I always fully charge it before I use it, Well the charger is off at least. I am going to install a guage so I can see when the power gets low.

I read the one thread but my F/R switch is behind my knees
Thanks so much.

Doesn't matter if the charger cut's off if they are less voltage than posted they are low. You may have a charger going out on you.
Are all the connections clean and tight?
Is the F/R cam in good working condition, has it been taken a part and cleaned lately?

Yes, Battery connections are clean and tight, I will check F/R switch and let you know.
Thanks,
Brian
