new club cart owner
I just bought a 2000 electric golf cart first time owner. I'v been driving it all week. I love it. My ? is, It has an auto shutoff chager It's been charging for 14 hours and still has not shutoff. How long does it take. I'll have to put some pics up in the next few days.. Of my new ride
thanks |

Welcome
You either have a bad connection somewhere, you discharged your batteries too much or your batteries are bad. |

How many times have you charged the batteries in the week you have been driving it? |

Re: new club cart owner
You have probably run the batteries pretty low and that "could" be why they take so long to charge.
At any rate just keep having fun with the cart and if you run it more than 15 minutes in one day, charge it that night. That will tell a little something about the charging. As long as it charges tha batteries and there are no problems, you should be good. |

Re: new club cart owner
Drawing the batteries way down repeatedly will shorten their life. Get a voltmeter and check them when the cart slows down just so you know where you are at. They shouldn't get lower than 6.0 volts.
