figured this would ruffle feathers:)i know mine are but i just bought it like that(batteries and all).
i'll get you exact numbers but the dash volt meter doesn't drop into the red zone as i barely touch the throttle since it"s just tests conducted in the driveway with the steering pump relay disconnected and no lift pump actuation.i strictly use the traction motors as this is where the problem lies.
i'm hoping you're correct in that the golfers can't keep up but???i fully charged them and it ran(all at walking speed) for perhaps 4minutes then started acting up.let it rest a few minutes and it would go again for a minute but sometimes less.steer a little hard left or right and it shuts down.got it back in the driveway by turning the key switch on,flooring accel then putting lever in forward.if i put lever in forward first then accelerate the contactors would drop out.
2 days later it ran fine for about 3 or 4 mn till i parked it.not pushing my luck :)
low voltage lock light has not come on and when traction shuts down,lift and steering still function without straining.
not much info to go on but i will do a more thorough test in the next couple of days.
the symptoms are random time wise,just like whether the steering is turned or not.sometimes all is ok then next seconds it's not.
kinda points at low volts or a loose connection but??
drives me nutssss.
