Charger kicks off after a minute.
I recently replaced my cables because I had my motor rewound for torque and speed. I used 2/0 wire and had to drill out the hole in what I assume is the OBC. Now batteries only charge for a minute or so and then charger kicks off and does not come back on. After a good while I can reconnect the charger and it goes thru the same thing. Does anybody know what I have screwed up here? Maybe drilling the hole out?

Re: Charger kicks off after a minute.
Hate to tell you, but yes your OBC is most likely no good because of drilling it out. Before you replace the OBC I would research smart chargers that don't require the OBC, and have a float mode. I have the DPI and love it. Good Luck.

Re: Charger kicks off after a minute.
You aren't the first to do it but the OBC is shot now. Bypass the OBC so you can charge your batteries and get a new OBC or a smart charger.
That was the halo sensor and is what registers the current usage... |

Re: Charger kicks off after a minute.
What is the difference between the DPI and the yewy 1200z? One is 60 bucks cheaper and seems to do about the same things.

I suspect the answer is country of origin.

Re: Charger kicks off after a minute.
You're not leaving anything on the table going with 2/0 cable.

"Dear Wife (significant other), the charger is bad for our cart and I need to purchase us a new DPI...."

Re: Charger kicks off after a minute.
I always figured that bigger is better lol (there are exceptions tho). There are some good points here so I will go with the DPI I think.
