Our Repair Services

Comprehensive diagnostics and repair for all lithium golf cart battery systems.

🔧

BMS Repair & Replacement

Diagnose and fix Battery Management System issues including communication errors, faulty sensors, and protection circuits. BMS module replacement when needed.

⚖️

Cell Balancing

Equalize cell voltages across your battery pack for consistent performance and maximum range. Prevents premature cell degradation from imbalanced charging.

🔌

Connection Repair

Fix loose terminals, corroded connections, damaged wiring, and faulty bus bars. Proper connections ensure safe operation and optimal power delivery.

🔋

Charger Diagnostics

Sometimes the problem isn't your batteries - it's the charger. We test and troubleshoot charging systems and can recommend repairs or upgrades.

📊

Capacity Testing

Measure actual battery capacity vs. rated capacity to determine overall health. Helps decide between repair and replacement with real data.

💧

Water Damage Recovery

Assess and repair damage from water intrusion. Clean corrosion, replace damaged components, and restore BMS functionality when possible.

Our Diagnostic Process

We believe in transparency. Here's exactly what happens when you bring your cart to us.

1

Visual Inspection

Check for obvious issues: loose connections, corrosion, physical damage, swelling cells, or water intrusion. Often catches simple problems quickly.

2

Voltage Testing

Measure overall pack voltage and individual cell voltages. Identifies dead cells, imbalanced cells, or voltage drop issues under load.

3

BMS Communication

Connect to the Battery Management System to read error codes, cell data, temperature readings, and protection trip history.

4

Load Testing

Test battery performance under actual load conditions to measure true capacity and identify cells that can't deliver rated current.

5

Honest Assessment

We'll explain exactly what we found, what it will cost to repair, and whether replacement makes more sense. No pressure, just facts.

Common Issues We Fix

Problem: Cart Won't Turn On

You turn the key or press the pedal and nothing happens. No lights, no power, completely dead.

Likely Causes & Fixes

Often caused by BMS entering protection mode, a tripped main fuse, or corroded main contactor. Usually fixable with BMS reset or component replacement.

Problem: Reduced Range

Cart used to go 25+ miles but now dies after 10-15 miles even with full charge shown.

Likely Causes & Fixes

Could be cell imbalance (fixable with balancing), weak cells (may need cell replacement), or inaccurate SOC display (BMS recalibration). Testing determines which.

Problem: Charger Won't Start

Plug in the charger but it doesn't turn on or immediately shows an error.

Likely Causes & Fixes

BMS may be blocking charge due to cell overvoltage, temperature, or communication error. Often resolved by clearing BMS faults or fixing the underlying trigger.

Problem: BMS Error Codes

Battery monitor or Bluetooth app shows error codes or warnings you don't understand.

Likely Causes & Fixes

We decode all error codes for Eco Battery, Allied, RELiON and other brands. Most errors indicate specific issues we can address through repair or recalibration.

Battery Repair FAQ

Is it worth repairing golf cart batteries or should I replace them?
It depends on the issue. If your batteries are less than 5 years old and the problem is a faulty BMS, loose connections, or cell imbalance, repair is often 50-70% cheaper than replacement. However, if cells are physically damaged, severely degraded, or the batteries are over 8 years old, replacement makes more sense long-term.
What is a BMS and why does it fail?
The Battery Management System (BMS) is the brain of your lithium battery pack. It monitors cell voltages, manages charging/discharging, and protects against overcharge and over-discharge. BMS failures can occur due to water damage, electrical surges, loose connections, or component wear. Many BMS issues are repairable or the module can be replaced without changing batteries.
How long does battery repair typically take?
Most repairs can be diagnosed and completed within 2-4 hours. Complex issues like cell balancing or BMS replacement may require keeping the cart overnight to ensure proper calibration and testing. We'll give you an accurate timeline after initial diagnosis.
Do you offer any guarantee on repairs?
Yes! All repairs come with a 90-day warranty on parts and labor. If the same issue recurs within 90 days, we'll fix it at no additional charge. For BMS replacements, the new BMS carries its own manufacturer warranty.
What causes lithium battery cell imbalance?
Cell imbalance occurs when individual cells in your battery pack have different charge levels. This can happen from frequent partial charging, extreme temperatures, leaving the cart unused for extended periods, or a malfunctioning BMS. Our cell balancing service equalizes all cells for optimal performance and longevity.
