Dead cc precedent
So a bat post melted ruining two batteries so I replaced both batteries. Charged cart up and it ran great for five days then melted another post. My local shop replaced battery, and a new cable putting lock washers on all connections.I brought the cart home now it will not charge when I plug in the charger it clicks and that it.the reverse buzzer doesn't come on, it's just dead. I have tried putting a manual charger on each battery but no help any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Re: Dead cc precedent
As an aside you can repair those melted battery posts instead of replacing them. Use the search function on this site and you will find it.

Re: Dead cc precedent
I don't know how to check over all pack but each battery is 8.3 from what 8 understand is good for an 8 volt battery. I can't find any loose or broken connections but nothing works lights forward or reverse even the reverse buzzer will not sound.

Re: Dead cc precedent
Leave the red lead of your multi-meter connected to the (+) of the right rear battery and connect the black lead of your multi-meter to the (-) of the left rear battery that is overall pack voltage... If absolutely NOTHING is working then I'd be HIGHLY suspect that something is not connected correctly or was left Unconnected...

Re: Dead cc precedent
Ok I'll checked something earlier today and got areading.of 16.71 but I'm not sure what battery I checked but I will as soon as I get home tonight. I also did find a small gauge wire not connected but I guess it was meaningless cause I reconnected still nothing. BTW thanks for your help my work schedule is a little crazy so that's the gap in me getting back to you.

Re: Dead cc precedent
If you got a reading of 8.3 volts from each battery and your only getting a reading of 42 volts then something is dead wrong as you should be reading 49.8 volts across main pack (-) to (+) so you should double check that all batteries are connected in series meaning it should look something like this.
---[- B1 +]---[- B2 +]---[- B3 +]---[- B4 +]---[- B5 +]---[- B6 +]--- Sounds like a battery is in backwards... |

Re: Dead cc precedent
You may have a charger problem or a blown fuse in the charge circuit...the fuse for the charge circuit is above the charger plug-in inside the battery compartment...it's a glass covered fuse. You can test voltage both sides or set your meter for a continuity test and make sure that fuse isn't blown. If any of your friend have a simulated cart you could try their charger...or we may be able to walk you through testing your charger.
