Hi I have a 2008 e2 and when I was driving home the other day it went from 4 or 5 bars on the power meter to 1 and I had to find some place to charge it before...
You all are a wealth of knowledge and I appreciate your input soo much. Does anyone have any advice on what would cause a sulfur smell on charging my 02 GEM...
Trojan 225's are Marine batteries. Don't expect much from them. They work for a while but you won't get big range. What you think you get when you look at...
Maybe disconnect the master switch to reset all the electronics and then charge the batteries. I have run my 2001 to 0 on the bdi, upgraded Zivan charger and...
The sulfur (rotten egg) smell is from overcharging batteries. I'd need more specifics such as battery type and model, age and charger information. I once had a...
sealed or flooded? in either event it is not good, but i don't know how bad. heating the batts too much can boil the acid, which has to go somewhere, and has a...
Hi I tried that before I sent it to the dealer. When the problem happens I lose power and it goes into turtle mode. So far the dealer can find nothing wrong...
I finally got my new Trojan Batts installed in our 2003 GEM e4 and have started some small incremental variable changes and testing. I have a couple...
if you want more power up hills, you have to get a higher HP motor. controller settings will not do the job. if you can't hit 25 mph uphill with your current...
Very true on the power though hoping for different. On steep hills I am running 19/20 MPH on the LED though I need to confirm with GPS. I am not sure what...
Thanks Ricky. That has to be the case. I have been refilling the water every 2 weeks or so and it seems to take 2 gallons or more. A contributing factor is...
The GEM Service Manual says the "fix" for error code -76 is "Replace the motor controller". I get the -076 code (along with free wheeling) whenever I coast...
Lawrence, The T225s were recommended by the local golf cart tech who services alot of GCs and GEMS. He has put them in a lot of GEMs in town, but I can't argue...
I second the notion you should stay within the factory settings for top speed and don't overwork the electronics and stock motor. Overheating will only...
Lawrence, Further to my last. The Trojan SCS225s are labelled Deep Cycle. Most Marine batteries are considered dual use...starting and deep cycle. But mere...
Confirm the setting is correct if you have the little selector switch on the top of the charger. From there try disconnecting the temperature sensor, it's the...
Thanks Al. You are spot on with your observations. I got -76 again today after trying to decrease the regen functions 9 and 10 a few points. Have you tried...
Thanks. Sounds like a good weekend project. I have done many things to this GEM thanks to you so far, but I have yet to take out the dash. I have the...
4b. Re: Interstates stinks, but are Trojans any better? Posted by: "Byron Evetts" h2ologged@... byronevetts I unplugged the charger let 'em rest 1/2...
Eric, I haven't changed Fn's 9 or 10 at all. The only Functions I changed when I installed the new (8.5hp) motor were: #3, 7, 8, 20, and 22. I plan on...
The dash on the inside is held in with velcro. On the front there are two screws that are accessible from the front. If you have the older style dash there is...
I haven't dealt with them in several months, but haven't had any problems getting in touch with them before. Try emailing them. Rick ... From: Byron Evetts,...
Putting twelve 6-volt batteries in a GEM would probably be overkill, both in capacity and weight, but they would last a long time. The happy medium I've always...
Selling my 2005 e4 I bought used two years ago. I also have a 2002 e825 and the difference between the 2 are noticeable . Can anyone tell me the differences...
Rick, I'm with you... The nine 8-volt batteries are worth the effort but they take a really long time to charge with the stock charger. One would need to...
Scott - How did your GEM perform with the Deka gels? I ask because we just bought a 2003 long bed which has been equipped with them in October of 2008. Thanks,...
