Charger has me stumped…..
I frequent this site often and usually a quick search answers all my questions, except this time.
I have an 05 Club Car DS 48V with power drive charger. 6 8volt batteries are a year old, load test as new, when charged the numbers are all 8.8 - 8.9 v. Problem is my charger stays at 5amps forever, it starts at 15ish and within an hour or so it is down to about 5amps, and does not shut off. I tested all the batteries again and they are fully charged, load test all perfectly, go and drive it a few miles and return, all load test perfectly and have equal charges. I put on the charger again and it drops quickly to 5amps and stays for hours (more than 16, I have to unplug it). I know this usually means I have a bad cell or OBC, but I used a neighbors charger and it fully charged in 2 hours and shut off, so I believe it is my charger. I just can not find any good info on how to trouble shoot my charger and know literally nothing about chargers. If you can help me find a thread that has this info I would appreciate it, youtube has been no real help so far. thank you |

Re: Charger has me stumped…..
Since another charger worked fine on your cart, my guess is your charger relay is showing the early stages of contact welding.
