Powerdrive 3 is not cutting off
I've tried this charger on multiple carts and it never fully cuts off. It DOES decrease amperage output over time but the lowest is 5 amps and it never cuts off even after 12+ hours of charging on known GOOD batteries in more than 3 different carts. Any suggestions? I thought these got feedback from the OBC and didn't have any "smart" components telling it when to cut off or on?

Re: Powerdrive 3 is not cutting off
Most likely the relay inside the charger is "sticking" and not releasing the contacts when the OBC removes power from the relay coil.

Re: Powerdrive 3 is not cutting off
I agree with Sergio. It's either a bad relay or someone has bypassed the relay internally in the past. May want to check that out.
