Hi...i am a new user here. As per my knowledge the bad batteries caused the electronic controller to draw too much current in an attempt to maintain speed.That's just a guess, though. It is hard disagnose something with no information. I think you left out a step: a) The batteries ran low. b) The user kept 'upping' control to maintain speed. c) As long as the motor is turning, things are (mostly) OK. d) The motor (brush-type) stops dead, but the speed control is still on MAX. e) Now the full - remaining - battery capacity is going through the fuse. f) *POOF* But, the batteries are sulphated, the speed controller has been overheated, the motor overheated - or at least those commutator contacts arced. Altogether a mess. Any properly designed system would have a condition meter and a low-battery cut-off to prevent this. And a thermal breaker in addition to the fuse. Peter Wieck Melrose Park, PA |

What fuse is a good question.
Is there a possibility that the "wrong battery type" was put in the buggy? i.e. a battery that does not like deep discharge replaced for one that would. A "car battery" pretty much would die quickly if it discharged too far. A defect with the charger is another possibility. Loose connections can kill the electronics responsible for charging. |
