Electric Ezgo Battery Charge (Batteries or controller?)
I have an older ezgo (pic attached) and its acting up. Last week I could drive it around like the batteries were decent it would go up little hills and such, and this week it wont even go up my driveway after an overnight charge! (My drive way is just a slight incline, should be NO problem)..
The owner i got it from before said that it used to be able to pull his f350 around but something was wrong with it (Not the batteries, he replaced those and said it didn't fix the problem) so i bought it for 150 and like I said, it just is getting worse and now cant make it up my driveway... Could it be the controller is going bad? How can i find out? Thanks guys |

Re: Electric Ezgo Battery Charge (Batteries or controller?)
did you try following the diagnostic tips under EZGO of this forum. Its the second one down. Very usefull. What is your over all voltage reading accross the batteries? If its low, then check the voltage drop accross each battery, if those are good then clean your connections ect ect.

Re: Electric Ezgo Battery Charge (Batteries or controller?)
Amazingly enough I have been told its a controller, but I have attached a photo of it just incase someone needs to correct me
I just tried to figure out how it is wired and I had to walk away. When I followed the wires from the battery the + Went to the solenoid, and the negitive went to the controller.. from there I am lost. LOL Also, I don't believe it is the batteries becasue I swapped the 2 of the 6volters with my new charged up 12v Deep cell and it still didnt go unless i pushed it. Any Ideas? Could the controller be slowly going bad? Thanks so much guys |

I took the white and black wires off the controller and put the positive wire of the meter to the white wire, and the negitive wire to the black wire. No readings changed when i pushed the accelerator. |
