Ezgo dcs 36v
I put new batteries in today and I'm nervous if the charger was bad. I have 2 power wise chargers. First one I plugged in and it showed 5 amps of charging. 2nd one I plugged in and it shows 17 amps of charge. Is this normal?10 minutes into charging and it's down to 14 amps

Re: Ezgo dcs 36v
How long should it charge the first time. Is it possible to overcharge? I don't want to waste all this money on batteries to just ruin them

Re: Ezgo dcs 36v
Let em charge. 7.45x6=44.7 I can go higher. First charge can be a big one if the batts had some shelf time. Charge amperage should start going down and spend LOTS of time on a low leveling charge.

Re: Ezgo dcs 36v
Is it safe to go to sleep while it's charging? It won't overcharge? Sounds like charger is working as intended?

Re: Ezgo dcs 36v
Also. I have a few cables that need new lugs. Can I just turn to tow mode and cut wire then solder or do I have to remove the wires before soldering? I would of course remove the from the batteries before working on them. Just want to make sure I won't mess up controller or something

Re: Ezgo dcs 36v
Also. If I were to replace the 6 volts with 3 12v marine batteries would anything have to change? Would charger still charge the batteries? Everything works fine? Or would wiring have to be changed to make that work

Re: Ezgo dcs 36v
put it in tow mode, fix cables on the work bench. reinstall and rock on.
I've never tried the marine batteries, but I'm guessing they wouldn't hold a charge very long. I would leave those on the boat |

Re: Ezgo dcs 36v
Some of the wires are from the harness. Would it hurt to solder while they are on the cart?
