2007 Yahama Electric slows are stopps on hills

[Jeffs67]

I just purchased a 2007 48 volt electric Yahama cart, the charger showes full charge but it goes extreamly slow up hills and after a few minutes of riding it cuts off on hill's, you can flip the tow/run switch from run to tow and back to run and it will go a few feet and shut off again, just bought the cart and was wondering wear to start with this problem.

you should ahve 6x8volt batteries. check each battery while driving with dvm. this will help you find the battery that has a bad cell. what it sounds like to me.

wthompson, did you mean 8 x 6 volt batteries? I also have a 48 volt 2007 with 4 brand new 12volt Trojans. So far, it runs great and the only thing that I noticed is that as the charge goes down, the cart surges at about half to three quarter depression of the accelerator.
