Battery charger pegged for hours.
Anyone have a Club Car i2 excel? I just bought one and drove it for about an hour and a half. Ran fine. I plugged it in to charge and the needle was pegged on full amperes. I kept it like that for 2.5-3 hours and came back and it was still pegged and pretty hot. I checked and all batteries are good (voltmeter and hydrometer). Connections are all good. Am I paranoid. Should I let it sit a couple more hours and see if the amperes go down? Club car said it should take a while with it pegged if the batteries where pretty discharged but I have read differently on here. I have tried and different charger and it is pegged too. Then tried them on a different cart and the were still pegged. I guess Maybee it is suppose to be pegged.

And I just noticed when charging that the plate in the back, where the negative battery cable runs through a plate in the back, is pretty hot.

There is a wire leading from the back left (drivers side battery) to the motor compartment. It goes through a plastic thing and the plastic thing is surrounded by a metal plate. The metal gets hot when charging.
