Default Re: Do I Have A Brake Problem?

1. We don't know what the old cart was or which controller was in it. so we cannot answer.
2. It has a NCX in it, so a DCX is Plug-n-Play. However, we don't know what solenoid is installed, or the condition of the high current cables, so they may need replacing also.
3. Maybe.
4. A NCX is not user programmable, so it is what it is. If it used to have regen braking, it still has regen braking, but it might not have much regen braking.

To find out if the regen braking is working, connect a voltmeter to the battery pack and observe it while driving about 20 MPH. Lift your foot completely off the throttle pedal and the pack voltage should climb rapidly. If it climbs above the at-rest voltage (38.2V), you have regen braking.

IIRC, it would climb over 45V when I was running a 36V battery pack.
