Re: 99 TXT Battery terminals keep melting
The heat is probably coming from the fact that the connectors on the ends of those cables are not designed to carry high current continuously. As previously stated, get yourself a complete set of cables. Your motor<>controller wiring should still be original, however.

Re: 99 TXT Battery terminals keep melting
Just for clarification.
The original pack were all identical batteries purchased at the same time. incident 1. battery terminal melts. Replaced with non-identical battery incident 2. battery pack negative battery explodes. It exploded when after being charged overnight. unplugged the charger. sat down. turned the key on, put it in reverse and applied the accelerator. before it ever moved the battery exploded. incident 3. battery terminal melts incident 4. battery terminal melts I don't think the battery explosion and the battery terminal melting are connected. at least i hope not because the sound of that battery exploding was just as loud if not louder than a shot gun. I literally ran out of the garage thinking someone was shooting outside the house. Now, let me assure you that I ran in a perfectly MANLY way out of that garage. There was no SISSY running. YOU GUYS BELIEVE ME RIGHT? MANLY I SAY! |

BUT with the above statement, incident 2, if it happened EXACTLY like you described, I would be led to believe that there was a lose connection of some sort near that battery or on it and a explosive concentration of H2 was present under your seat....SPARK => BOOM! Which is why you should ALWAYS lift the seat of your cart when you charge it. Its so easy. I have a bungee cord that just fits between the seat handles, when I stop for the day or whenever I plug it in, I take the bungee off on one side, lift the seat, the bungee goes behind the steering wheel and back to the seat handle. Presto-ChangeO, the seat stays up and no BOOM because of trapped Hydrogen gas. |

Re: 99 TXT Battery terminals keep melting
One thing I will add is to always make sure your battery cable is the one actually contacting the battery if you have smaller wire taps on any terminals. Each set of ring terminals creates resistance which creates heat. If you have your high current cables connected on the battery first, you run much less risk of a poor connection!
