Charger or something else
I have a power wise charger that will run for approx an hour before turning off. Car will run for maybe 15 min. before battery's are discharges. Battery are about 6 months old. Has anyone experienced this and what was the fix.
Thanks |

Re: Charger or something else
Please fully charge your batteries, wait several hours (12 is optimal), then test & post total battery pack voltage, & voltage of each individual battery here so we can assess them.

Re: Charger or something else
I am having the same problem!!! After I put the charger on it only charges for about 45mins to an hour. After the charger turned off I go to check each battery about 6 to 8 hours later and all six batteries average about 6.24 to 6.35. All batteries were replaced at the same time about 1 year ago. Any info would be great.

Re: Charger or something else
Thank you, I think my batteries are bad. After letting my batteries charge threw a full cycle and letting them sit for 12 hours I am only getting 6.0 volts at each battery. After reading reviews on this forum I realize I bought crappy batteries. They are the 6v Duracell from Sams. Don't judge me I was new to the golf cart community a year ago, lol. I just did not think they would go bad in just 1 year? It was just weird to me that for about 8 months my cart was riding great for a couple of hours at a time and now I can only go down the road and barely make it back? Do you think I am making the correct assessment about my batteries or do you think it could be something else?

Re: Charger or something else
Have you tried another charger on these batteries? What was the pack voltage right after the charger shut off?

I've had that same battery (Duracell) for three years with no issues. Do you keep them charged after each use or have they set with low voltage? That will kill any kind of battery.

Side Note: when I purchased this golf cart nothing worked, it is a complete rebuild. I replaced the board in the Charger and it seemed like it was working fine. I have replaced the Motor, Speed controller, 400amp soleniod, and battery cables from D&D motors. I also replace the micro switches for forward/reverse and a voltage reducer for my accessories. |

Re: Charger or something else
I always put my cart on charge when I am done with it. But I did go without riding for about 3 weeks and the charger was plugged in but it seems that it never comes on again after going through a full cycle. I have to unplug it and plug it back in when I need it to turn back on. I have a PowerWise charger. Are those chargers supposed to turn on and off by themselves?

Re: Charger or something else
Powerwise are not float chargers and do not recycle by themselves. They have to be disconnected from the cart to reset..
