Re: battery losing charge
check the model number on the plate, where the rail from the dash and floor board meet.
Make sure alternator belt is not slipping. U know U also have a voltage regulator mounted inside a black plastic box. See the gas diagrams above in the stickies. |

Re: battery losing charge
also check your micro switches on the f-n-r selector. when i got my cart the switch was bad and one of the wires wasnt making contact. the motor would start in forward neutral or reverse. but it had to be charged every few days couldnt figure it out. somthing wasnt letting the alternator charge the battery. i replaced the microswitches and it now properly starts only in forward or reverse (unless in maintenance mode) and seems to be maintaining the battery like normal.

Re: battery losing charge
if you have a carryall is wont be a ds. fg states that it is a "Carryall I Gasoline Flatbed/Pickup Utility" and the 93 should be the year. both which you already knew about your cart. check your voltage regulator and your microswitches.
