Jumpered charger puts out 3 amps?
97 48v powerdrive charger question? We jumpered the relay and it put out 3 amps? I put it back together and jumped the obc, it put out the same 3 amps? Batteries are bad, 7.9 or 8.0 volts each? IS the charger okay? I expected it to go to 15 amps when it was jumped.....New batts are going in but, ... wadda ya think Fixer?

Re: Jumpered charger puts out 3 amps?
Have you tried to plug the charger into a cart with a good set of batteries just to see how it acts to eliminate that as the problem. Other than that, it could be one bad diode in the charger.

Re: Jumpered charger puts out 3 amps?
So........ nobody thinks that it could be a bad obc? New batteries. Low battery light comes on when cart is run.... and charger will not come on when plugged in. When jumped charger puts out 3 amps?

Was the 3/8ths amp fuse blown? A power strike such as lighting that is strong enough to take out that fuse can also take out the OBC. I would still try the charger on another cart before I changed the OBC though. If that cant be done then mabye try another known working charger on your cart. |

Re: Jumpered charger puts out 3 amps?
I am pretty sure the charger's problem is in the flux capacitor
 I have another charger coming late today..... I will have some more info later... Roady sent me googling around for transformer and capacitor tests... So I will post what I find ... I truely suspect this poor cart has a bad obc and bad charger .... did I mention the bad batteries? Ouch! |
