Battery light
Working on a Club Car DS series drive. Serial number AA01****. OBC went out so I have bypass it, and got MODZ charger. My question is will the battery light work with the OBC bypassed.

Been using it a couple of months with no issues. The battery light is controlled by the OBC. It is probably not that good an indicator anyway, get a good digital voltmeter, some come with a status bar. I put one of these in, working fine so far, $14 on Amazon. |

Re: Battery light
Thanks R&T. That was my plan to install a digital volt meter was just wondering if the factor light would still work. I looked at the wiring diagram it shoes a brown wire coming from the ODC to one side of the light and one from the key switch to the other side so I don't think it will work with the bypass.

Re: Battery light
The OBC controls the battery light. The light is really not all that useful anyway. Get a real digital voltmeter (not the bar graph gauge) and make sure the operator knows the low voltage threshold to stop driving the cart.

Re: Battery light
Thanks Fairtax. I will order from a site sponsor. I never did think it was much to that battery light.
