New 2018 48v Drive 2 AC charging light questions?

wadeod

So Cart was delivered yesterday. I put it in tow mode and charged overnight. This morn the yellow light was blinking. I unplugged charger and realized I was charging with the key “on”. So turned the cart “off”. Left it in tow mode and tried to charge again.

Now, an hour later, the charger is

Red solid
Yellow solid
Green flashing

What’s this mean? I’m waiting for a solid green I believe.

Now it’s solid on all 3 colors???? Is it charged?

Not sure what the AC charger looks like but I would NOT put it in tow mode to charge. Doesn’t seem necessary.

Didn't the cart come with manual? IF so it might explain the charger light show. Why did you put it in tow to charge? Did the manual say to do this?

BTW, I, and likely others, will be interested in the performance of the cart. Not much info out there regarding actual user experiences. The AC Yammi is a beast on paper but only available since '16 and most of them are still in the fleets (golf course).
Based on my experience with an AC EZGO, I would expect the Yammi would be especially impressive holding speed on inclines.

Yes, the manual says to put in tow mode? But I can't believe people remember to do this. I barely remember to turn cart off to charge.

The manual wasn't much help on the light show. But I think the 3 solid lights meant it was charged as i drove it 7 miles round trip and a round of golf with it.

And Yes I would say its a BEAST. Very impressed so far. But I'm use to ezgo fleet carts.

This things goes about 20mph with the speed enhancing from Yamaha at the dealer and it flew up the hills. Very nice on round #1

The "3 led" small Yamaha charger.. I think red + yellow + flashing green means it's still finishing the charge. I think the green light will be the only one lit when it thinks it's totally done. We try to order all our carts with 8x 6v batteries, and DPI chargers instead, but they don't always show up that way. The yamaha charger manual is what I call a "Chinese comic book", it's lame, says stupid stuff that doesn't apply to you, and is poorly translated from Chinese. Look for the word "InterRock" for interlock. Too funny.
