Mini moto atv 36 volt will not run

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!

battery failing

battery is being drained as it operates and not taking charge

check tightness and clean both terminals and cables

how old is the battery
may have a dead cell ..wont take charge

check the charging input to the battery with a volt meter
has to be above 12 volts
if lower or equal to 12 volts ...no good
the charging stator inside the engine needs testing or repair or replace

stator is another word for an alternator or a generator


why it plays up
best guess the ATV if a 12 volts system wont run on 11 volts

check the battery volts while running, should be around 14

If after starting and while it is running disconnect the battery...if it still runs then the alternator is working. Also you can connect a volt meter accross the battery and it should read 13-15 volts if working.

Have a load test done on the battery as a good battery should be 13.5 volts. There may be a dead cell that is not taking the load. Under crank load the voltage will drop off and there will not be enough current left to run the ignition system. The sprayer will use considerable less current that a starting engine so that is not an indication of a good battery

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

get a new one

should be 12v

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