Battery light random on

mustangless

I had not been using my cart very much (like going a week without being used) for a couple months. Anytime it was driven the light would flash even though it had not been used.

The voltage is 49.4 for the entire pack and 8.2 for each battery. I know I am supposed to check them 8 hours after charge, but because of me getting busy it had been around 18 hours since charging.

I think the batteries are around 3 years old. Is ~70% normal? If so, what could make the light flash after very little use?

Drove then recharged. Voltage is now 50.5 (48v cart).

It is a 2003 ds.

And how many hours was it off the charger when you got the 50,5 volts??

after 8 hour off the charger you batteries will still drop surface voltage, best to check volts after 12 hours off the charger to get a true volt reading of how good your batteries are
