Potentiometer

The potentiometer or ‘pot’ as it’s known is the switch on your electric golf trolley and can be found in the handle part of your trolley. It will be in a circuit with the wiring loom and control box to switch on/off and change the speed of your trolley and is one of the most common parts that need replacing. A faulty pot can also be the cause when your trolley is ‘stuck’ at one particular speed and the only way to stop the trolley is to disconnect the power supply, so the connection leads should just be taken out from the battery to stop it.

Lacking Power

Sometimes the trolley will lack power maybe particularly uphill but other times not. The main causes for this are lack of voltage in the battery caused from a faulty battery or charger, the trolley pulling too much voltage from the battery causing the battery to lack power later, a faulty gearbox, a faulty motor or excessive load on the trolley.

This is where GolfTrolleyGarage can check your trolley to identify what the reason is for the lack of power and advise you accordingly.
