Default Re: Battery Problem

Let's start with the obvios, which is that your cart seems to not be charging correctly ... Get a DMM (voltmeter) and test the voltage at the battery with the cart off, it should be between 12.2 and about 12.6vdc. Now, with the DMM still hooked up to the battery, take a ride at mid-throttle and see what the reading is, it should be around 14-14.6vdc if all is well, if it stays at 12v (or drops) then you're not charging.

Do that and report your findings, and based on that, we can start giving you some better directions as to how to solve your problem(s).

(As to accessories, etc, if they're hooked up correctly, it's pretty hard to kill a battery unless they're on for an extended period of time without the cart running - I've got (2) 75w halogen headlights, a full 9ft of LED's under the cart, a pair of taillights, my GPS, etc running basically all the time at night, and have never killed the battery)
