97 ds not charging/intermitant
Hi all,new to BGW and new to carts.I have a 97 ds 48 volt cart.Was having a NO charge issue with old batterys. Just in stalled a new set of trojan 875's.When I finished installing the batteries I pluged the charger in and it worked. rode the cart for 10 or 15 min. and now I can not get it to charge??I have 48 volts across the pack but only read 36 volts at the charge receptical....so i am thinking the low voltage reading is whats keeping it from charging. Anyone have any ideas why i would only have 36 volts at the receptical? thanks Tom

Shadowman, i double checked the red wire.it is on the right battery #1. Crazy...i checked the votage again, + and - in the charge receptical .still 36V. I worked the froward/reverse lever back and forth a couple times. then plugged in the charger and away it went,charging like normal. has been charging now or a hour.?? this thing is driving me crazy.........Tom

double check and tighten all your cables cause that dosn,t make much sense as the F&R dosn,t have anything to do with charging......i would check and tighten all cables and keep an eye on it and see if it happens again........................ |

Re: 97 ds not charging/intermitant
i would closely check the fuse on the back of the charge receptacle. its a POS and has been known to crack and cause intermittent charge issues.
