EZ Go Charger Problem

fkaluddite

When I plug the charger into my cart it cycles through flahing red and green lights, then the light goes out completely. FYI my wife knocked it onto the floor from the table this afternoon. Any ideas.

Have you unplugged it from the wall plug and reconnected it? Sort of a reboot?

lol o boy, well to start off, can you get into the cart and actually drive the cart meaing does it have o say 34volts, to start the charger if its an automatic powerwise (im guessing cauz i dont know that many other chargers with colored lights) well lets go from there

EZ Go by Textron Automatic 36v charger. Usually, come in plug it up flahes red, then green flashing to indicate charging. Solid green = charged.

Are you saying teh batteries may have sufficient charge so the charger won't kick in? If so, shouldn't the light be solid green.

I've unplugged it, but maybe I didn't leave it unplugged for sufficient time to "reboot/reset"?

Cart is operational. The batteries are charged, though it was used prior to the attempt to recharge when I discovered the problem.

If you don't have a voltmeter? Then just run the cart for about 15 minutes of actual peddle time and then try to charge....

I've run the cart and plugged in the charger. Same as before series of flashing red and green, then nada.

What say you?
Thanks

the board is probably bad in the charger then if your batteries are good,

I think you found the problem. I would inspect the charger.

I'm fairly certain it's the charger. Any ideas on what is wrong with it, or an easy fix? Or, do I have to eat it and buy a new? If so what would you guys recommend? The same stock charger?
Thanks
