Testing a charger
I am trying to figure out a way to properly test a cart charger. I am not sure if it is a 36V or 48V charger, but my freind has two carts that he is trying to get up and running and he believes the charger is not charging properly. I told him that I am not sure how to test the charger but I could post something on BGW for him and see what kind of feed back that we could get. Thanks for your time trying to explain.

Re: Testing a charger
The charger should have the voltage output listed on the data plate or on the casing.
See bottom center of this charger. I just sold my 36 volt charger and just to be sure everything was perfect on it before sending it out, I simply changed my cart back to 36 volt, plugged it in and confirmed good. |

Re: Testing a charger
Look on the charger and it will say on there what the volts are, like SP said,-- If you want to test to see if it works, get a DVM meter and set it on 200v dc-volts, and take a reading of the pack volts on the cart that you are using the charger on??, then plug the charge in and hook it to the cart and take a reading of the pack volts, if the charger is working the volts with the charger hooked up will be alot higher if it works
