Re: Help, cart is slow
8-9 resting, I just bought them 3 weeks ago from Affordable carts in bonita springs, they go through/SELL 2 tractor trailer loads a year !!!! i'LL LOOK FOR INFO BUT AM GONNA REPLACE CABLES TOMORROW MORN.oops . I already super cleaned/sanded copper contacts on FNR switch, no sign of over heating , very slightly dirty. The juice/contact path just ain't gettin to the motor I think, so that's my focus. Any other ideas?

Re: Help, cart is slow
had the red wire wrong going to the charging port,it was on the last black instead of the last red, I switched it, went for a ride and cart died after 1/2 mile or less. Checked batterries and got 53.+ volts on all 6. Felt solenoid and it was warm,contacts hot. this was after 5 mins

Re: Help, cart is slow
Did you install the batteries yourself?
