nasty cable
I am replacing the 6 year old Sam's batteries in our '05, Precedent, and noticed this cable.
Thought at first I would soak it in baking soda water to get rid of the gunk, but that wasn't working. I cut the insulation back a few inches and the cable was really corroded. Replaced it with a spare, and soldered all the previously crimped ends. |

Re: nasty cable
I'd rip em out and replace all of em. Most likely they're as bad or worse than the one you replaced'.
Bad cables can fry a cart. Don't take a chance replace em, including motor and control cables. |

Replacing just one cable can lead to more problems at high current draw. |

Re: nasty cable
Don’t be scared to make cables either. I did my entire cart with 2ga welding cable with soldered ends in about an hour and a half. Got all of the materials except for the plumbers torch on Amazon for about $70

Re: nasty cable
Thanks mboger. Too bad I’m doing a lithium conversion as soon as the charger gets delivered so they will end up lost in a box in the garage. Oh well they were sweet for the 2 months on there
