TXT EZGO - Dash battery indicator vs charger
I just purchased a used 2008 TXT 48V EZGO shuttle 6. It has Trojan batteries (3years old) and came with the "delta-q" QuiQ charger. The charger appears to cycle through charging sequence until complete. However after left on "complete" for a couple hours, it flashes an error code. (6x red light flash.) The manual shows this indicates "Internal Charger fault" The battery indicator on the dash board of the cart is flashing on the 2nd level up from E. So I am afraid to drive it.
I think The seller did attempt to "clean" under the seat where the batteries are located to make it look nicer by spraying with hose. (not sure if that could have something to do with it) I have someone coming over tomorrow to fix it (charging $125 for 4 hours of labor), who claims: "Someone was driving the golf cart for too long and the batteries became too discharged and the charger is not registering enough voltage and so it won't start charging until the batteries get charged up" Does that sound like a plausible cause? I really don't understand, and I don't want to pay $125 and then still have issues. Thank you for any input guidance. I will continue digging on here. |

You can charge 2 batteries in series at a time with a regular charger to get the voltage up minimum.

Re: TXT EZGO - Dash battery indicator vs charger
Do you have or can you borrow a volt meter? Often called digital multimeter or digital volt meter, (DMM or DVM) you can buy one fairly cheap at Walmart, Auto Zone, Home Depot, Lowes, Ace, West Marine, etc. It will come in handy for a cart. Measure pack voltage - the voltage from the cables which lead to the charger port.

Re: TXT EZGO - Dash battery indicator vs charger
I haven't checked lately, but I'd think you could find one around $20. Amazon also has them, but that isn't as fast.
You need to make sure it can read 8 volts to two decimal places and 48 volts to at least one. https://www.cartsunlimited.net/troub...ting-tips.html |

If you can wait for shipping, this can be used to see if your pack is charged enough for your charger, AND will help you to monitor/maintain your batteries.

Re: TXT EZGO - Dash battery indicator vs charger
If you don't have a regular charger or a meter maybe you should just pay the guy and watch and learn
