48 Volt Powerdrive Charger
I have a 2002 CC DS and just put new batteries in. The Powerdrive charger got down to 4 amps on the meter and was still on after 30 hours. I know something is wrong. Any ideas.

Re: 48 Volt Powerdrive Charger
Check and double check your connections for correct hookup. I believe the OBC controls the charging on these carts, so make sure any small leads didn't accidentally get left off on the battery installation. There are wiring diagrams in the stickys under the Electric Club Car heading.

Re: 48 Volt Powerdrive Charger
your charger should shut off after 16 hours regardless so somewhere theres an issue......either charger is bypassed inside or OBC is bad..............OBC,s do go bad in that way just not often.......................................

Re: 48 Volt Powerdrive Charger
Cart runs fine and responds to the throttle well. Would a bad OBC still let the cart run?

Re: 48 Volt Powerdrive Charger
yes it would, sometimes it just won,t let the charger shut off and you end up frying your batteries.......it dosn,t happen alot but i have seen it maybe a dozen times over the past 11 years or so......no other symptons cart runs fine and charges.......................................

Re: 48 Volt Powerdrive Charger
It just started doing this. After I run the batteries down I'll give it a try and see what it does. I did do a OBC reset last night in hopes it may help.
