The controller has two neg and positive leads, so I am figuring one set goes to each battery and the controller combines these to make 24 volts.
When I hook them up to the batteries, I get only one green bar and when I hit the joy stick, I get a click from the motor. I tried hooking the two in parallel and using a car battery for the other lead. With this, I got the motors to run, but they only run a short time when they seem to cause a breaker of some kind to activate (power light starts flashing and motors stop. Have to turn power off and then on again to get it to run again for a little bit).
I am going to try some large car batteries, but not sure why the motors are not working with the 18ah batteries.Any thoughts?
Motors are Penny & Giles with these numbers - D49305/3. I have written to PG and they are looking for a diagram for this unit. (It apparently is an oldie. They called it a PG8 when they responded to me.
Tried again tonight with two car batteries. Motors run and seem to get to speed. Just think that these motors may need just more amps than the smaller batteries provide. Of course, the bigger amp batteries mean I have to figure out where to put them in the project.
The unit has two motors with factory wiring that connect to a single box that also has two battery plug in ports. This unit has another cable that goes to the controller with the power switch, speed control, indicator and joy stick. All is factory and does not appear to have been changed.
