Cart won't charge

sean anderson · 02-13-2010, 07:55 PM

My cart was not opreated for 6 months. I tried to charge it but the indicator on the charger would not light up. I checked the batteries and there was no H2O in the cells. I added distilled H2O and tried to charge again but no indicator light came on from the charger. Any suggestions?

you need to charge them up individually , the charger will not kick in untill you have 30v or so over the whole pack.

Do I charge them individually with a regular battery chrager? What setting so I don't damage them?

you need to charge them with the correct voltage. if they are 6v you can charge two of them together with a 12v charger.

There are 6 batteries. They don't say what voltage they are. Any idea what their individual voltage is? I use a 48 volt charger to charge the cart (perhaps each one is 8v ???). It's a 2004, model G22E, Yamaha

Yes they are 8v batteries. 4 holes in the top.

If I charge two of them together with a 12v charger; and do that for all 6, can I get enough of a charge over the pack for the regular charger to kick in?

scottyb · 02-13-2010, 08:43 PM

NO, you will be putting 12v into a 18v pack What are the voltages now?

I don't know, I don't have voltage meter. I think thier dead?

scottyb · 02-13-2010, 08:55 PM

I do too

You can buy a voltmeter and check them? Take them to a golf cart shop? Have a Mobil GC Tech come to you? SOme way of checking. But leaving wet cel batteries in a state of discharge for extended periods of time will kill them.
