If the batteries are over standard voltage (64 volts or higher), that may be a sign of a larger problem.
The charging system utilizes a smart charger; it reads the battery voltage and charges according to how low the level
of voltage is in the battery pack. If there is resistance in the charging leads or
fl
oor charger plates (on the
fl
oor charging
system), the plug on the kart, or even a plug on a charger, the charger may think the batteries are much lower than they
actually are, and overcharge the batteries, possibly damaging them. Closely inspect the entire charging system;
fi
nd and
fi
x the cause of the resistance.
This condition has come up once at a park where the regenerative braking system was adjusted too high. After the kart
was fully charged and was driving out on the track, the guest suddenly let o
ff
the go pedal, and the power going back
to batteries from the motor would spike up past the predetermined parameter. To adjust the amount of regenerative
braking, follow these steps:
Connect PC Pak cable and open the software.
Click on the “Personalities” tab.
This will open some of the adjustable parameters.
Find the box marked “Neutral Brake Level”.
This number represents the percentage of
regenerative braking the kart will have. The
lower the number, the smaller amount of
power it will put back into the batteries. If
you’re decreasing the amount, only drop
it by small amounts at any one time.
Once the new amount is set, disconnect from the
kart by hitting the red button at the top of the page.
Disconnect the cable and test the
kart. Repeat as necessary.
