Circuit Breaker; 12Vdc Batteries; Battery Harness; Scooter Battery Connection - Golden Technologies Buzzaround XL GB146 Service Manual

Buzzaround XL_SG_REVA_100711
Component: Circuit Breaker (1)
Location: Mounted on the Battery Pack. See gure 2.
Function: Protects battery circuit from current overload. When the current draw exceeds the breaker rating, the circuit
breaker will open.
Connections: The circuit breaker is connected to the positive (+) terminal on one battery and the negative (-) terminal on
the other.
Failure Signs: Opens repeatedly. May indicate failed circuit breaker or short in the wiring. May also open if the motors
are overloaded (from excessive weight, excessive uphill driving, etc).
Test: Measure the resistance across the circuit breaker and the wires that connect the circuit breaker to the batteries.
Expected reading: Less than 10 ohms.
Serviceable: Circuit breaker must be replaced with exact current rating.

Figure 2. Battery Box Figure 3. Inside Battery Pack
Component: 12VDC Batteries (2 and 3)
Location: Inside the battery pack. See figure 3.
Function: Supply 24VDC to the motor and/or accessories (12VDC x 2).
Connections: Connected in series. The positive (+) terminal of one battery is connected to the negative (-) of the
other at the circuit breaker (1) and at the battery harness (4c and 4d). Refer to figure 11 on page 10.
Failure Signs: Batteries drain quickly. Scooter runs slowly or not at all. Batteries will not charge, but charger is
working properly. Beep Code #1 or #2.
Tests: Fully charge the batteries rst and load test. Make sure charging system is working. See Battery Charging
Test. Make sure the contacts are not corroded. See figure 4 below and gure 19 on page 14 for quarter test.
Expected Readings: 12 - 14VDC each when fully charged.
Serviceable: Replace batteries as necessary.
Component: Battery Harness (4)
Location: Inside the battery pack. See gure 3.
5
Function: Connects the batteries to the Power Harnesses (5).
Provides over current protection from the battery charger
through a 3-amp inline fuse.
Connections: Connected to the power harness through 4a.
Connected to the charger harness through 4b.
Connected to the batteries through 4c (+) and 4d (-).
Figure 4. Scooter Battery Connection
Refer to figure 11 on page 10.
Failure Signs: Corroded wires may cause the batteries not to work properly. Make sure connector pins are seated
properly. Batteries will not charge if the inline fuse is blown.
Tests: Test the harness for continuity. Test the fuse for continuity.
Expected Readings: Less than 10 ohms.
Serviceable: Replace the harness as necessary. Replace inline fuse with exact type and rating. See gure 3.
