Older club car trying to find a charger

Chevychasesmith

I have an older electric club car not sure what year I will post some pics below of the current setup. I'll take more pics tomorrow. I tried an old ez go charger with the correct connector on it but no luck. The charger just gave the 6 red led flashes saying internal charger error. I have charged the batteries individually and the cart drives fine lasted a whole day but obviously it's a pain in the butt to do that each time. Someone converted it to 3 12v batteries not sure if I should just try and use some newer parts and like new controller w new charge port or what. This is my first electric cart always had Gassers before this. Thanks for the help!!

convert it back to 6 ~6v golf cart batteries .... yours are car batteries
i have never see a club car with the D starting serial number ... but 74~80 club cars use the Anderson charger plug

show us a photo of the front

These batteries are made for starting, which means a short discharge of say 50-70 amps and then recharge. Golf Cart long deep discharge use will kill them off pretty quick.
Not sure if the charger can sense the configuration is incorrect? You can try opening up the charger and jumping the relay to get it to charge. But, it will not shut off after that so you will have to monitor it.

check your cables i see a burnt one at the solenoids

Yes you need to fix that burnt cable, and check for more. And why is that battery cable bolted to the frame, in pic 2 right below the burnt cable. No cables should be bolted to the frane

I would get the cart proven reliable before I put money into controllers and such. As others said, definitely get some batteries as those car batteries will fail quickly (you can usually find 12 volt batteries used at a battery dealer or if you are committed and have the funding, buy 3 new ones)

I have a pretty nice Club Car 36 volt charger, but it does not have the Anderson plug. It has the Crow Foot plug, but I also will have the Charging receptacle for sale with it.

I got it with my EV Sport Coupe, and since I am upgrading that car to 48 volts I will be selling this charger. (1973 Club Car Caroche)

I am not at home so can't post a picture today, but will do it tomorrow, in case you are interested.

Since your pictures do not show how the charger receptacle is connected to the FNR and batteries, it is hard to tell you if it is wired correctly.

Measure the voltage on the Anderson charger receptacle sockets to make sure You get +36v.

The cart was reconditioned by Club Car. Who knows WHAT year it is. My guess is 1988.
