EZGO Marathon Charging issues
Hello. I am having issues charging my EZGO Marathon. It was doind fine for a while it would charge and then run about 3 hours before dying. Now I cannot get it to take a charge. When I plug the charger in the ampheres go all the way up and the batteries begin to warm up. It was running fine up until now. This is the first EZGO I have owned and am very unfamiliar. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks |

Re: EZGO Marathon Charging issues
Welcome Charles, The problem you are describing is usually caused by one or more 'bad' batteries. You will need a voltmeter and a hydrometer for batteries; the needle type not the floating balls type. Then you can test individual voltage and specific gravity. Post that info here and we can what you are working with battery-wise.

Re: EZGO Marathon Charging issues
I replaced 1 battery about a month ago. Is it possible for all other 5 batteries to go bad in that time period? I used the voltmeter as suggested and only the new battery showed 5.9. Thanks

Re: EZGO Marathon Charging issues
5.9 is well below what we consider empty or 50% depleted. What do the other batteries read?
Also 1 new battery in an old pack is soon drug down to the value of the rest of the pack..... |
