Parago golf cart

[amshfa]

we just bought a parago golf cart. We bought all new batteries for the cart. we have two problems now it wont go in reverse and its losing its power in less then an hours time. When we first get on its very strong and shows no sign of issues. But within a short time it gets slow an doesnt want to go. Yesterday it did this then it had power again after we had been off of it for a few hours. And it is taking over a day to charge the 3 batteries. Can anybody help?

What year is your cart? 3 wheel or 4 wheel?
You only have 3 batteries?
What is your pack voltage after you charge the batteries and rest them?

It has four wheels and 3 batteries.

Sounds to me like your batteries are dying after a short period of use.
An hour of run time on 3x12v batteries is good.
All Pargo carts I know of had 6x6v batteries and I think that having just 3 batteries (probably 3x12v) is what the majority of your problem is.
