Default EZ-Go electrical problem

Greetinga All,

I hope somebody can give me some pointers for my problem.
My golf cart started going slower and slower and I just thought it needed to be charged. So on the way to the charging station, i decided to check the battery fluids....well they were bone dry.....

I filled all 6 of them with distilled water and started charging, the charger ran all night and still didn't go off. I unplugged it and re-charged it and it seems to have charged the batteries as I read 37.6 volts across the last two posts.

However, the cart will not work. The reverse buzzer will not even make a sound with the ignition key turned on and the switch put in reverse.

Any ideas?

Thank you in advance.

Okie

You probably are reading a surface charge with your VM. What level did you fill the batteries to before charging them? ie: distance above plates, bottom of fill hole, etc...

how much did you fill them? Sorry to say but, running the batteries dry WILL DO PERMENANT DAMAGE ..... ONly a load tester or hydrometer will tell. Also wait a few hrs and re- read the voltage. It may fall surprisingly....

The batteries were dry(you could see the plates), so I filled them to the top of the fill hole, replaced the covers and plugged in the charger.

To much water. Probably need to pull ALOT out....skim off the top until you get 1/4" or so above the plates, charge again and keep an eye on how long the charger is actually active (humming). You may also want to pick up a hydrometer and check for weak cells. there should less than a 50 point spread (place your bets, place your bets ) between cells.

Is there some kind of switch, or fuse that could be blown?
I'm reading 37.7 volts, wouldn't I at least hear the reverse buzzer?

All the batt cables hooked up? Charger disconnected from port?

Actually, my bad for not reading better....thinking.

I didn't change any cables or anything. The charger is NOT currently connected.
