Charger Problem?
Howdy All!
I have a 2004 48V CC IQ. When I plug it in, the charger comes on and goes all the way over to 15 and then it cycles off after about 1 minute. It is a PowerWise charger. I checked the batteries and they are all between 8.23 and 8.26V and the full pack reads 49.6V. The batteries are all new Trojan T-875s. I put 2ga cables on it yesterday and that was when i noticed it. Any ideas? Thanks a lot for any help. BAF |

Re: Charger Problem?
Thanks, Scubabud. No, I didn't change that one. I only changed all of the ones on the batteries, controller, and motor. What should I do now?
Thanks, BAF |

Since the only thing you did was change the battery cables you must look at those again as well as anything you might have changed or bumped/moved by accident. Also do you have a friend with a CC to test your charger with? |

Re: Charger Problem?
I changed the wires one at a time to make sure I got them back on correctly. I don't know anyone else with a CC to check my charger but it was working fine until I did this. I figured i would screw something up when i went to working on it. I'll let it sit and fiddle with it some more tomorrow afternoon. I appreciate your help and let me know if you think of anything else.

Well maybe one more thing... what is the voltage at the female plug on your cart? Please use your voltmeter on it and let me know using only that for both positive and negative and then using the positive from that plug and the negative from your main (-) lead on the last battery. |

Re: Charger Problem?
With Brand New Batteries perhaps the charger id telling you the pack is completely
charged. Does cart run ? If yes drive it for 15 minutes or so , then try charging again ! |

Re: Charger Problem?
They are about two months old. I rode it Saturday for a while and then plugged it in to charge. Got back out there and the charger was off so i figured it was completey charged. I rode for a little while (30 mins or so) and the light started blinking like the batteries were low. That is when i checked the voltage and then plugged it back in and noticed that the charger was cycling off. Does that help any?
Thanks, BAF |

Re: Charger Problem?
