Battery charger kicks off

dani66272 · 10-02-2009, 10:01 AM

My club car cart will not accept a charge. The charger runs for about 2 min and cuts off. This started out as a perodic problem but has become full time. I checked the batteries for distilled water & all cells look full. No obvious signs of damange or leakage. Love to hear any suggestions if it might be the charger or the cart. Thanks

You may have a computer issue, or it could also be the charger relay. I believe if you search the stickies that you will find a description on how to bypass the computer to test / troubleshoot. The bypass IS ONLY FOR TESTING!

At the top of the Electric Club Car forum, there are Sticky threads with good information. Search those first.

If you don't find it there, do a forum search for 'computer bypass'.

Try resetting the OBC

Resetting the OBC
To reset the OBC the following must be done in this
order:
If no Tow/Run Switch then skip that step

• Key Switch to Off
• Forward/Reverse to Neutral
• Tow/Run Switch to Tow
• Disconnect the Battery NEGATIVE (–) wire from the Battery Minus terminal on the battery pack.
• Put the Tow/Run to Run
• Forward/Reverse Switch to Reverse
• Key Switch to On
• Lock the throttle pedal down
The reverse buzzer will sound and go off in about 30 seconds. Leave the cart like that for 5 min to cause the OBC to reset.

To reconnect the OBC back into the system:
• Key Switch to Off
• Forward/Reverse Switch to Neutral
• Tow/Run switch to Tow
• Reconnect the Batt – wire to the battery minus terminal on the battery pack.

Once the OBC has been reset, the cart can be troubleshot. There is always a chance the OBC has completely failed and the reset process will not fix the
problem. Consult your Club Car manuals or contact Alltrax for more troubleshooting of vehicles with an OBC.
