2001 Club Car DS 48V Never Stops Charging
Like the title says, 2001 DS 48V. Batteries are fine, runs well, just never ever stops charging when plugged in. If I leave it charging for a week it will boil the batteries empty.
Also, it does it with my charger and my neighbors as well. so I assume something in the cart???? |

No he is right you have a bad cell on one one of your batteries, it happens, get a hydrometer and find the bad battery and replace it. Shuttering is due a battery voltage dropping out, which is also the same with the charger, it can't get one cell to charge. Do you have a voltmeter? But the real way to find this is with a hydrometer.

Re: 2001 Club Car DS 48V Never Stops Charging
that means nothing at all, have every battery load tested and have all cells checked with hydrometer and good news is when you find your bad battery if they are only a year old it should be free replacment..................
