Bad Cell?

[IHECIG]

Hi guys, I am afraid I know the answer before I ask it, but I guess I am hoping I am wrong. Ok I have a problem with my cart not taking a charge, 90 ez-go electric 36 volt
So I take some reading 6.6, 6.7, 5.4, 6.7, 6.7, 6.7 from the plug 33.7. Probably bad cell correct?

The battery with 5.4 volts isn't looking good. Do you have any accessories hooked to the batteries? Also the total voltage isn't adding up to what the numbers are that you posted.

I would say you have a bad cell or you might as well just say you have a bad battery.

Yeah hotrodcarts I have headlights, horn and I just put a charge indicator.

Is the battery with low voltage one of the batteries your accessories are hooked to?

 

[IHECIG]

Yes it is

You can check that battery and make sure it doesn't need water then try to charge it with a 6 volt charger to see if the voltage comes back up. You can charge it without unhooking any cables.

Hotrodcarts, thanks for your help after trying to charge it, I took it to one of the shops close to my house and they found a bad cell and replaced the battery for me.
