Battery light blinking --- code???

ROC

Have 2004 Club Car DS IQ -- 48 volt. The battery light has started blinking on 25 sec. / off 5 sec. / on 5 sec. / off 5 sec. and keeps repeating this pattern when key switch is off & forward/reverse is in neutral & toggle switch in run position.
Light goes off when turn key on & push accelerator. Light will also go off when put toggle switch in tow position.
This just started after transporting cart to the coast where I will be keeping it.
I tried a obc reset as per manual instructions.
Any help would be appreciated.

Default Re: Orange Light Flashing on my dash board
BATTERY WARNING LIGHT
Precedent, PowerDrive, PowerDrive Plus and IQ System vehicles feature a dash mounted battery warning
light (above the steering column) that, when the vehicle is in operation, indicates low battery voltage or, when
the vehicle is being charged, indicates a charging problem. The battery warning light is controlled by the
onboard computer.
When the batteries receive an incomplete charge because 1) the DC power cord is disconnected, 2) AC
power to charger is interrupted, 3) automatic charger shut-off occurs after 16 hours of operation, or 4) charger
malfunctions, the warning light will indicate as follows:
• The battery warning light will not illuminate if the charge is 90% or more complete. The onboard computer
will retain in memory the amount of charge needed to replenish the batteries and will complete
the charge during the next charge cycle.
• When the charger DC cord is unplugged during a charge cycle, the battery warning light will illuminate
and remain illuminated for 10 seconds (25 seconds for Precedent vehicles) if the charge is less than
90% complete but the vehicle has enough power for 60 minutes of operation. This will alert the operator
that the vehicle may be used, but that it must be charged to completion as soon as possible.
• The battery warning light will repeatedly illuminate for 10 seconds, at 4 second intervals (25 seconds,
at 10 second intervals for Precedent vehicles), if the charger times out at 16 hours and the batteries are
not sufficiently charged. This indicates an abnormal charge cycle. The charger and batteries should be
checked by your Club Car distributor/dealer.
• The battery warning light will repeatedly illuminate for 10 seconds, at 4 second intervals (25 seconds,
at 10 second intervals for Precedent vehicles), during a charge cycle (with the DC plug still connected)
if AC power to the charger is interrupted. The light will go out when AC power is restored.

So, will the battery light go back to normal operation after a complete recharge cycle?
I connected the club car power drive 2 charger & put toggle switch in tow position when I left from vacation.
The batteries are approx. 2 years old (I think...that's what I was told when I purchased cart). I could not find a date on batteries. I am new to the golf cart world.

As long as you don't interrupt the charging cycle it should be o.k....if not there could be other issues.

Thanks theboss20! Charge cycle won't be interrupted as long as power doesn't go off while it in charge cycle. I won't be back to where its stored for few weeks. I will also be sure its not in a charge cycle before I unplug it when I do go back.
What might be some other issues as you mentioned?
Thanks Again!
