precedent new batteries gassing too much
I just installed 4 new 12 volt trojans in my 08 precedent. When i tried to run it, it would not move.
So i diagnosed the computer was in a solenoid lock out mode, and was not working. So i replaced the computer with a new one ( version 5.something?) Cart now runs and charges. I have charged the cart about 5 times since the install. Here is my question : The batteries are really gassing alot, even after these 5 charges, After a full charge, and sitting for 12 hours they read 51.5 volts. When charging, i took a reading 64.3 at 5 amps and still out gassing. Do i have a problem here? Will the gassing stop? whats causing this? Is there something wrong with the charger, that it is equalizing all the time? |

Re: precedent new batteries gassing too much
I believe all of that is normal. One thing you did not mention was how long it is taking your batteries to charge. Almost forgot. This is one situation were a OBC reset might do some good. :)

Re: precedent new batteries gassing too much
As far as a obc reset, i just replaced the obc, and it has been working. Do i still need to try a reset?

Re: precedent new batteries gassing too much
IF:
Then the only other thing I can think of is maybe the OBC is not seeing the same voltage that you are measuring directly on the pack. It could be caused by a poor connection on the solenoid Big post (where the harness gets the positive) or a bad sonic weld (right before the OBC red wire splits off the harness). Put the cart on Tow, disconnect the 6 pin plug from the OBC and measure the voltage on the red wire, it should be very close to pack voltage. |

Re: precedent new batteries gassing too much
Drink a beer and don't worry so much. It sounds fine to me. You should be in a cart barn full of 65 carts with new batteries. Talk about gassing...
