Stops after 20 feet
Was given a 92 EZGO Freedom 36V with no batteries. I put in 3 good 12V car batts. It goes about 20 feet then stops and won't move again for about 10 min. What's causing this? Is using car batteries a workable option for short distances? Thanks.

Not sure. How do I tell? I do have the wiring diagrams.

Re: Stops after 20 feet
You'll either have a black plastic cover under which is a controller or a set of coils in a metal housing. Both will be between the three batteries on either side.

Re: Stops after 20 feet
You're asking a lot of 3 12v cranking batteries but theoretically it should work. For 20' anyway. Sorry, that was uncalled for but you had to know that was coming right? Ask anyone, 3 12v auto batts ain't gonna last long at all.
After it quits is there any heat coming from anywhere in the battery bay? Controller, cables, FNR, solenoid, etc. |

Re: Stops after 20 feet
No heat that I can detect. Any guess why it would come to life again after a few minutes? I guess the main question is whether there is something more wrong that would make it not worthwhile putting $800 worth of new batteries in it. Thanks

Re: Stops after 20 feet
Feel the controller when it quits. If it is hot than more than likely its your issue. when it cools the cart runs again.

Re: Stops after 20 feet
I'll do that. I got the test procedures too and will run the controller test before and after it quits. That should tell the tale.
