2007 Precedent not charging...
Hey guys , I`ll try to make this as short as possible..
Cart is a 2007 Prec. w/4 12 volt trojans that I put in in may 2011. everything was fine till just recently. I noticed when i went out in the morning the cart was still charging...something it rarely does , and when you unplugged it the yellow light would flash indicating it`s not fully charged. So after our typical trip around the yard and neighborhood , it gets plugged back in for the night and the charger would kick on and the needle would go over to the right then slowly drop. After a few days I`ve now noticed the needle no longer moves and the batteries are not charging. They are full of water, I replaced the three things on the charger , and man. charged each battery hoping to give them enough of a charge for the cart to start charging them in the event they were just too low...still nothing. I`m going to load test the batteries tonight and re set the obc and see if that does anything..any other ideas? |

The charger clicks and acts like it`s coming on and the needle jumps ever so slightly...
Thanks , I will look that up and give it a try. I just load tested the batteries and they checked out ok. |

Mine had those exact same symptoms and it ended up being the rectifier in the charger.

Re: 2007 Precedent not charging...
if batteries are ok and cable/wires are good on cart one would have to suspect OBC ..........if you can get a good charger just to try and confirm that would help.............................................. .......

Re: 2007 Precedent not charging...
Correct...I couldn`t think of what the three things were called , but those are indeed the three items..same issue.
I tried re setting the obc...still nothing. I`m taking the charger to my local cart shop tomorrow and see if there`s anyway to test it on a different cart...I almost think it HAS to be a charger issue , but who knows? Thanks for the help guys , and if anyone else has any ideas , I`m open for suggestions. |
