charger/batt help

mark01 · 10-03-2012, 10:10 AM

I have a 86 CC 36 volt car, and am having problems with it staying charged.
I know I need new batteries, cause it will only run about 30 mins then go from running good to completly dead. But my question is how to chk my charger to make sure its working properly? I have this charger: http://www.google.com/products/catal...ed=0CE0Q8gIwAQ

It doesnt show anything on the meter when its plugged up, but it has to be charging it some cause everyday my kids ride it, but like I said only about 30 mins top.

Thanks

. . . you may have answered your own question . . . that is where I would start . . . you may be trying to charge a dead horse . . .

It should show amperage flow when it is plugged in? Check pack voltage with a meter then recheck with the charger plugged in...if voltage rises I would call the supplier and let them know the amp meter is not working.

Don't let the kids ride the cart till dead, it will cost you a set of batteries soon.
