Re: (ET) Voltage dip
Could it be the main disconnect switch is getting flaky?
(if you have the original GE style that is... the Bill Gunn replacement
is much more reliable).

I was wondering if anyone in the group has had this problem. I
installed the AllTrex controller and it seems ot be working good. I
have cut the grass 3 time now and several times durring each cutting the
volt meter will drop into the middle of the red and everthing slowes
down. The current meter drops a little too so I don't think its a
short. It acts like I am suddenly running on only 4 or 5 batteries
instead of 6. After 10 to 30 seconds it returns to normal. Sometimes
it happens when I go from forward to reverse or back to forward again.
It allways happens when I first start the tractor, mower running or
not. If I just run the mower with the AllTrex off it will still read in
the red. All battery cables and connectors are new. Batteries are 2
years old, and nothing is hot when I finnish cutting the grass. The
drive motor is hot to touch but you can leave your hand on it for about
10 seconds.
