New Trojan Batteries, Cart Won't Charge

[sayleboat]

Guys,

So, I put my new Trojan 875's in my ClubCar this morning. I have a 2001 ClubCar DS Series 48V cart.

Well, I wired everything back up and plugged it in........nothing. I thought that maybe the batteries were already charged so I didn't really think about it.

Got home this afternoon and decided to take it for a spin. Rode about 15-20 minutes and parked it. Plugged in again.........nothing.

I am now worried. I have checked the fuse in the yellow holder and nothing.

Anything else I can check?

are you certain you hooked everything back up right? go over everything you did, was everything ok before you changed batteries?......................

Shadow,

Everything was fine before changing batteries.....no issues whatsoever.

I am going to look again tomorrow. I have checked the wiring diagram several times versus what I wired, and that is right.

But, I have been staring at that thing for so long that I may be overlooking something.

it only takes one wire and it happens all the time......more than you would think.....and since it was fine before hand??? know what i mean.....just take your time................................

Other than the red positive coming from one side, and the black negative coming from the other side, what should I look for?

If you have a multimeter you can check voltage at the charge receptacle and see what the charger sees?

Also look under the cart and all around to see if there is a disconnected wire somewheres?

Make sure you have the 10 gauge red wire to the carts charge receptical connected to battery #1.

Okay guys.........I am an idiot. Looked this morning for about 30 seconds and realized that I failed to wire the 10 gauge wire back to battery 1.

Hooked it up and works like a charm.

Thanks for the help. Probably would not have found that problem without the recommendation.

No YOUR NOT AN IDIOT, an idiot would not have found it yet alone admit to it.
