Re: Batteries Gone Wild
I'm charging the batteries now to see what happens on a full charge. I have a theory.
I'm also running all #2 gauge wires to all batteries and motor.
The batteries were low on water and I charged the pack. The charger shut off giving me the assumption it was fully charged when in reality the batteries were probably low. I drove the cart thus dropping the voltage even further producing the shuddering, since the controller and motor were starving for volts the motor got HOT. Having a broken meter I was unable to check what voltage was. So when I filled the batteries with water and let them sit it brought them up to 49 volts which is not a full charge. When I drove it tonight I shuddered slightly at high speed but the pack was only at 49 volts. Sound logical?
