now here are my questions.


If the battery is reading at 11.40 volts ( almost a full charge ) why
are the motors turning sooo slow.

I know that the motors are rated at 12v 230 watts.. so if the battery
drops below 11 volts should this caused the motors to simply quit
turning the wheel?


I didnt check for the battery Ah rating. I took it for granted that a
deep cycle battery meant for a small boat, rideon lawn mover , or even
a small vehicle should be enough to put out enough juice to run two
12v motors rated at 230watts... but maybe i am wrong?

the original batteries the jeep uses are 12v 10Ah....

Could it be that the deep cycle battery may be defective? could this
explain the drop of power being supplied to the motors?



11.40 volts might sound like close to a full charge but that's actually
quite dead for an unloaded lead-acid battery. Fully charged it should be
close to 13V, and the voltage won't drop off much until the battery is
rather depleted. Charge it up with the high setting on the charger overnight
and see how it is, there's a good chance it wasn't fully charged when it was
first installed.
