How do I charge 48 volt battery pack with 12 volt chargers?
I've heard of using 2) 12 volt automotive type battery chargers in series to charge 3) 8 volt cart batteries at a time but can't seem to find instructions on exactly how to hook the chargers up ,help would be appreciated on how to do this.

Re: How do I charge 48 volt battery pack with 12 volt chargers?
Here is what I did a few days ago.
Was asked to try to get an '03 Club Car going. Batts had been left off charger for long time. Total for 6 batts was under 2 volts. Charged each with 12 volt charger one at a time for 6-8 minutes up to 5.8 - 6 volts. Plugged in charger and no go. Hooked 12 volt charger up to last batt and tried again and cart charger started. (powercharge III) Amps were at about 3. On 2 of the batts voltage was too low to turn on the automatic 12 volt charger. I hooked the charger across 2 batteries, (the previous charged batt and next to be charged), this gave enough to start charger. Let it run for a few minutes. Then removed and hooked only to last battery being worked on. This was done with digital volt meter hooked up to each battery being charged. . At no time did the batteries seem to heat. Total process took about one hour. |
