Full charge but dies after just a few minutes.
Hey folks
I have a 2000 48v DS with all brand new trojan 8v batteries and I just replaced all the cables (4ga). Everything seemed to be working just fine until the other day. I plugged the cart when i left for work and when i got home my wife had unplugged the charger from the wall, but not the cart. Ever since then, it acts like it has a full charge (the charger automatically turns off after a while), but run time is only about 10-15min. I attempted a OBC reset and this seemed to allow me to give it a full charge, but still no change. any thoughts?? I also replaced the main Negative lead, but all connections look tight. thanks in advance. |

Re: Full charge but dies after just a few minutes.
good thoughts..I don't have a multimeter... guess its time to pick one up.
I'm more curious than anything if there could be another part that is malfunctioning. |

Re: Full charge but dies after just a few minutes.
You should have around 50.9 at 100% charge. 48 volt would be just around 50% charge. Check each battery as well.

You forgot to run the main neg cable through the hole in the obc, likely.

Re: Full charge but dies after just a few minutes.
Great call friend. Diagnosing issues over the Internet without actually looking at a cart is a difficult proposition at best, and impossible at times. You made it look very easy with little to go on. Impressive.
