It keeps flashing volts.

Question edited for clarity.
Question moved from Cars and Trucks.

Get out your multimeter and check the TOTAL voltage. You should have 24 volts or 36 volts depending on model. If you don't, take them all of and charge each one on a car charger set at 2 amps. Clean all the battery connectors with a wire brush and also the connectors. Smear them with Vaseline. Also make sure you have the batteries wired in correctly. If don incorrectly, you may be running on 12 volts!

check the battery volts while running, should be around 14

You might check the battery charger.... Some of these smaller foreign built ATV's have a battery charger that comes with them. I am not sure what the real problem is tho... Does it crank at all? Does it produce a clicking sound instead of turning the engine over?

When a battery dies while the engine is running it is not being charged. When the charger is working the engine will run without a battery

some four wheelers require a battery to run correctly. sounds like you need a new one.

I take help from online websites that have this service like helping in repair some like reliable-store have instant help.. others are a bit slow which I don't prefer... rest is up to u.. U can also get free manual works fine .

Are the cables hooked to the right terminals and not backwards?

get a polaris battery or the largest possible battery to fit battery compartment or re locate battery box and install a lawn tractor battery

Hey Ccp.. A new battery and it did not help the cranking issue?? hhmm... PLEASE take the battery and have the CCA (Cold Cranking Amps) checked... just because its new and has voltage does not mean its a "good battery"... It takes AMPERAGE to crank and run your machine.. (*see 35 amp fast charge!!)..Autozone, O'reilly's, a battery shop can check the CCA... once you have MADE SURE the battery is good, then you can proceed to diagnosing the real issue...This is the procedure a professional mechanic takes..so do this first... once you have determined the battery is (good or you got a new one)..and ... once you have the machine running,,WITHOUT a charger hooked up.. time to check the output.. you should get 13.5+ volts at 3000+rpm.. if you are not getting 13.5+ volts, its time for electrical diagnosis...This manual should have all the electrical specifications needed to diagnose your issues...

try investing in a battery charger instead of replacing the battery the dune buggy probably doesn't have an altinater to recharge the battery
