New Batteries- Speed Loss
Club Car DS, I Just replaced the Batteries and went to 4 gauge Wires. On the initial drive the Cart drove normal for a couple hundred yards then goes into a slow and steady speed mode?? I believe the Cart went around 12MPH now it seems to be around 2-3 MPH. the Batteries I purchased are 190amp batteries if this matters.

Re: New Batteries- Speed Loss
Welcome to BGW!
Did you charge these new batteries yet? New batteries rarely have a good charge on them when purchased. |

Re: New Batteries- Speed Loss
I Have. I did a full charge hoping it was the problem. It wasn't. Any other ideas?

Re: New Batteries- Speed Loss
Hmmm, Sounds like this could be the problem. Let me do the Test and see.

Re check your cables make sure all batteries are connected in series.

Re: New Batteries- Speed Loss
I did the Test. No Braking or Beeping from the Cart. It just rolled to a stop. Sounds like this could be the issue. Is there anything I should know before changing the Speed Sensor?

Re: New Batteries- Speed Loss
Sounds like your speed sensor is bad. I have never personally replaced one, but I have heard it's two screws and a pigtail...
