Battery Light on 08 Precedent
Just got my precedent delivered with its new batteries Trogan 1275 12 V ( 4 )
I was told that the batteries were fully charged, I drove the cart for 5 minutes and the orange light came on and off a few times, is this normal ? Maybe with new batteries ?/ The delivery guy forgot my charger ( uugghhh ) he is bringing it tomorrow, I rode the cart for a half hour on my yard ( no hills ) and was unable to put it on a charger, is this bad. |

Re: Battery Light on 08 Precedent
Do not drive it too much til you get a good charge on it but I would say that is normal as it sounds like your OBC is learning the new bats.

Re: Battery Light on 08 Precedent
Can I use the wires that control the orange battery indicator light to power a voltage meter ?

Re: Battery Light on 08 Precedent
Your cart should have a wire behind the dash that was already prewired for a meter, at least that is what others have said, personally I have not pulled the dash to look, mine is an 08 also.

Re: Battery Light on 08 Precedent
this wire you speak of, is it different than the battery light I am describing, can anyone confirm this wire and recommend a meter ?
Thanks |

Re: Battery Light on 08 Precedent
Look at the post from Erict labeled 'scottyb's meter install on my prcedent'. It has plenty of pics from Erict and myself. It was last updated on 8/30/12 about 7 pages down. There is a 48 volt wire pair sitting right there for the picking. Next time I have my dash off, I will look/meter for a 12 volt pair that others have talked about.

Re: Battery Light on 08 Precedent
There is only like 3 or 4 screws to pull the dash, just go unscrew and look
