I just purchased a 2007 Gem. It has all new batteries but I can only get to top speed of 16 mph. When I come to a stop it says code 77… After i turn the car on and off it will go again. Someone asked on the forum if it could be in turf mode? I don’t know. What does that mean? Any ideas? Thanks ---

The switch next to the fwd/rev switch turns the “turf” mode on and off. The turf mode is used on the golf course and doesnt tear up the grass. ---

code 77 is a capacitor voltage too high, the controller needs to be looked at. What is your battery pack voltage? Do you have 6 batteries or 9? ---

I have a RV park in McCloud CA. A GEM 2002 is my vehicle around the park. My interest is keeping my EV running. The batteries are Napa and four years old . I think they are ready to be replaced as one is low in voltage after running for a while. RC Bob ---

4 years is not bad life for a set of NAPA batteries. You might purchase a used battery to replace the bad one. However the others arent far behind. ---

Thanks I put in an Marine battery and it helps some so will replace all next spring as the winter is shut down time. I have to decide between Trojan or Napa. I’ll have to go 130 miles for the Trojan. What is your opinion. RC Bob ---

If your going to keep the cart go with the Trojan 1275’s. If your going to sell the cart go with the Trpjan 1275’s. They last a long time and they help sell a used cart. ---

Trip mode is the switch. Try it in both positions. 1st position gives about 17/19 MPH and second 25/27. ---

My trip mode will not click to higher position. You can hold it there and it just clears the mileage. Thanks for trying to help. Any other suggestions? ---

The switch is just an on/off 2 position switch. It should stay in position. What year is your cart. The schematic I have is for a 1999 model. ---
