1980 Electric 36V Club Car
Have new batteries, and all test with 6.1V, but when I get to a even a slight grade the cart slows down. When I get to the top it speeds up again.

Re: 1980 Electric 36V Club Car
The batteries aren't fully charged. At 6.1 volts they are only at 50% charge. They should all be showing 6.3. Your total voltage should be reading 37.8 after a full charge. Check all your connections. Loose terminals and corrosion can cause resistance.

Re: 1980 Electric 36V Club Car
Thanks for the battery guide, it will come in handy. Would anyone have a wiring diagram for this 1980 Club Car, want to make sure I have not messed anything up.

Re: 1980 Electric 36V Club Car
Checked the connections, and put the charger back on last night, and checking the batteries one-five read 6.4, which I think means they are fully charged. But battery number six only read 6.1. Could this be a problem battery?. The pack reads 38.5.

Re: 1980 Electric 36V Club Car
After a full charge (16 hours or so) unplug the charger for a couple of minutes, then reconnect it and let it charge until it stops again. Wait 12-24 hours (24 preferably) after to taken measurements to see actual voltage readings from your batteries and report back here.

Re: 1980 Electric 36V Club Car
Since the other 5 are all fully charged, try charging that single battery with a home type charger set on 6 volts.
