Just purchased a 2015 Gem ELXD with 1039 miles. Vehicle was parked for a few months . Replaced batteries and code 57 is still appearing. Any help on this would be a plus. Thanks ---

Same problem with ours here at work and had to purchase a new charger and also have it programmed to except new batteries. Even after all this was done its still showing this code number and also a turtle on the dash, we found some blown fuses and replaced them, still no luck with solving the code. Took it to Utah to have a shop that is known for working on them to trouble shoot the stupid cart, when it returns we are going to sale the pile. ---

Replacing parts at random, like batteries and charger, will not fix -57 error. 57 is an internal controller shunt error. Have service personnel look at the armature current as read by controller. Or substitute a known good controller as a test.
