How long ago did you change the batteries? Did you update the charge profile in the charger?

Unplugging and then plugging back in immediately usually triggers an equalization charge which is usually good for the batteries. It can take several hours but 8 hours does seem a bit long.

They had been charged that night , usually plug it in at 9 pm, and its charged by morning, my wife was going to take it out about 10am unplugged it for 5 mins or so plugged it back in so its been charging since about 10:30 dealer set the eric for use with trojans

You might want to get DeltaQ IDAT software and download the charge data from the charger. Check out which algorithm is loaded and check the charge record to make sure it’s fully charging the pack.

Did it stop charging all right, or did you pull the plug on it?

Good question yawood.

Yes quit on its own after about 11 hours

That almost sounds like a total recharge. Check the pack voltage before you take the cart out for the day. Check it every day or ever other day for a couple weeks and make sure the battery voltage is staying steady after charging. If you notice the voltage declining each time you check it, (50.9 one day, 50.7 next day, 50.4 couple days later, etc.) you’ll need to get the charger checked to make sure it has the right algorithm.
Not getting a full charge will damage the batteries.
