I have a 96 EZGO. I replaced the batteries in March of 08 and it has run great with no charge problems or battery problems of any kind. I keep the batteries filled (to the proper level) with distilled water. The connections are all tight and extremely clean. I wll post a picture if I am able to. Last night I was driving (the cart) home and it lost all power. It didn't fade out but instead instantly lost all power. I checked the batteries and the 4th battery had a terminal that has completely (100%) melted off. The wire it was connected to was just dangling which explains the instant loss of power.
I thought that it might have been a loose connection but through the process of the post melting the connection was saughtered together. Which I would think would stop any arching at that point if a loose connection was the problem. Has this happened to anyone? I can get the battery replaced but would fear that it could happen again with more devastating results. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I can't figure out how to post a picture of the batteries and terminals but if you would like or need to see them just ask and I can send them to you.
