Another Craigslist oops.
Bought a 1996 EZGO off craigslist and it drove ok. Has the 5" lift. Decent paint. Got it home where I have lots of hills and it just plain crawls up those hills like a deer that just got hit by a car. Downhill isn't even all that fast either. A buddy of mine brought over his load tester and ALL SIX batteries are in the weak area. I went out and bought 6 new batteries and it runs better but it just drags uphill. My last cart was a Clubcar with an all aluminum frame and it was fast as heck even uphill. Is my motor too weak. Frame heavy. Any thoughts on this loss of uphill power?

Re: Another Craigslist oops.
hope you charged those batts. at least overnight before you used them. there is a proper procedure to brak them in. also, if you have the original cables, you should change them out for at least 4ga. ones. this made a seat of the pants difference on mine. be sure to replace all 13 cables. that's a good cart and with a bit of tweaking it will run fine. is is a series or dcs cart? the dcs will have a toggle switch on top of the controller.

Re: Another Craigslist oops.
I think it's a series as I have not yet removed the controller cover to inspect. I did charge them overnight. Runs fine on level road but uphill she is noticeably slower than my last 36v cart.
