What voltage kicks the yellow light on the dash?
Fully charged 2017 CP pack reads 53.8v , after a 15 mile round trip back to the house my pack reads 48.4v
What voltage will trip the yellow light on the dash, and can the cart make it safely home ? |

Re: What voltage kicks the yellow light on the dash?
48.4 is 50% charge or discharged how ever you want to read it. You should try not to run it below 80% charge if you can help it. All in all I would say that light is giving you fair warning to charge your batteries. Not sure what the book calls for on your cart. I guess you knew all this.

Re: What voltage kicks the yellow light on the dash?
I found this old post
Default Re: Blinking Battery Light Ok here we go: BATTERY WARNING LIGHT When the vehicle is in operation, the warning light is controlled by the onboard computer. • Batteries’ voltage drops below 48 volts when there is no load on the batteries (the vehicle is stopped and there are no accessories on). • Batteries have discharged to less than 25% of rated capacity. If the warning light illuminates when the vehicle is operating, there will be enough power remaining to drive the vehicle for approximately 30 minutes. However, the vehicle should be charged at the first opportunity. If the warning light illuminates and the vehicle is unable to operate for 30 minutes, have your Club Car distributor/ dealer check the vehicle for a possible battery or electrical system problem. When the batteries receive an incomplete charge because: 1) the DC power cord is disconnected, 2) AC power to charger is interrupted, 3) automatic charger shut-off occurs after 16 hours of operation, or 4) charger malfunctions, the warning light will indicate as follows: • The battery warning light will not illuminate if the charge is 90% or more complete. The onboard computer will retain in memory the amount of charge needed to replenish the batteries and will complete the charge during the next charge cycle. • When the charger DC cord is unplugged during a charge cycle, the battery warning light will illuminate and remain illuminated for 10 seconds if the charge is less than 90% complete but the vehicle has enough power for 60 minutes of operation. This will alert the fleet operator that the vehicle may be used, but that it must be charged to completion as soon as possible. • The battery warning light will repeatedly illuminate for 10 seconds, at 4 second intervals, if the charger times out at 16 hours and the batteries are not sufficiently charged. This indicates an abnormal charge cycle. The charger and batteries should be checked by your Club Car distributor/dealer. • The battery warning light will repeatedly illuminate for 10 seconds, at 4 second intervals, during a charge cycle (with the DC plug still connected) if AC power to the charger is interrupted. The light will go out when AC power is restored. • When paired with version 3.0 or later onboard computers, the battery warning light will flash quickly, after inserting the DC plug, indicating the charger’s voltage suppressor has failed closed. 1968 Harley-Davidson DE Gold Stars Club jakesnake27 is offline Report Post |

Re: What voltage kicks the yellow light on the dash?
Hey guys, what brand and year cart are we talking about here? Not familiar with a '17 CP(?) but I think all the information above is for an OBC which was applicable for years '95 to early '14 and then the ERIC systems took over....

Re: What voltage kicks the yellow light on the dash?
The light serves two functions: 1) Battery low state-of-charge warning, and 2) Charging confirmation.
Battery Low State-of-Charge Warning • The light comes on and remains solid when the battery state of charge falls below 20%. • The light begins flashing when the battery state of charge falls below 10%. Charging Confirmation • The light will flash three times and the reverse buzzer simultaneously will sound three times to indicate a battery charging session has begun. mrgolf was giving you the correct information and was right on for an OBC cart and here is the information for an ERIC cart. |

Never though about the year and different charging system.
