Club Car runs and just stops

[robertg]

New to the forum, looks like a great crowd. I have a AQ 03 Club Car, when charged runs great, smooth ride. Two miles in it just stops. Batteries, 6 Trojan 8 Volt, are less than a year old. Tested and good. Recharge and the same thing happens. Any assist is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Well the fact that you charge and it runs great again is suspect. Do you really need to charge or is it the fact that its just sitting and cooling down that makes it run again.
run the cart for one mile get off and feel the solenoid all cables, controller and motor for heat. test the batteries at this point and with the meter hooked to the batteries drive it back note the voltage post your results.
