Sluggish ride
I charge my batteries until they are full and the charger kicks out. When I ride on the cement or asphalt it runs well but when on grass or on a hill it slows to a crawl. What do you guys think is my issue?

Re: Sluggish ride
How do I check these batteries to determine if they are the culprit?

Re: Sluggish ride
Check your pack voltage 12 hours after fully charged. You should see at least 37.5 volts. Then you need to check each battery individually to see if one or several are weak.

Re: Sluggish ride
I forgot to mention, when I charge the cart the smell in my building is nearly unbearable. Cross between rotten eggs and metal smell...almost scared to walk in the building. Is this normal?

Re: Sluggish ride
Smell like acid.... Check your water level in your batteries.

Re: Sluggish ride
I checked the water in the batteries and none of them showed any.....Have I ruined my batteries?
