So I put it back together, dropped the top and took off AT ABOUT 1 to 2 mph and that's all it would do. I drove it about 1/4 mile and it simply would not go any faster. The engine seemed to be running fine but the cart had no power whatsoever. Any ideas?? Mike
If you bat is at full charge you should not see 15.5 volts at full throttle. It looks like your voltage regulator is not doing its job. You are pumping 15 amps into a fully charged battery. It will boil the plates.
