My 6 month old Yamaha sat unused for two weeks and wouldn’t start. When I bought it the salesman handed me a trickle charger, which I found unusual. He suggested I use it if the cart was stored for a time.
I charged the battery with a regular charger and took the cart to Sumter Village Carts and complained. I was told that the new speedometer that Yamaha now uses will draw down the battery even when the ignition is off.
He showed me how the speedometer can be shut off by holding down the button on the upper left. Sure enough, off it went.
So, apparently that’s the answer to the mystery.
