charging problem

[coco524]

i have a 02 ezgo workhorse that i put a rebuilt starter-alt on and i dont know if iam haveing other problems or if i have a bad battery. I charged the battery and rode the cart for about a hour and i stop and the cart would start back up the battery was dead. So is the starter alt bad or the battery bad. Iam lost?


thanks james

Take a voltage reading of the battery. Should at least give you 12.5 volts reading. If your battery is still good, nect step is to try if the starter is working, check wirings and fuse if still good. If after charging a battery and it starts the cart, check your voltage regulator if still functioning.
