Re: How does 48V 2001 Club Cart OBC function?
from 1995 until 2001 i think they upgraded the OBC ( worked the bugs out ) like 4 times........95 thur 97 had OBC issues so they uprraded them in 98 and i beleive again in 2000 or 2001 and than one more time after that.........part of the upgrade in 95 thur 97 was the dash battery light they went from red to orange and wired it a bit differently so that if you had the club car tool you could read the dianostic code right from the battery light which couldn,t be done with the red dash light.......you had to have the tool under the cart at a 45 degree angle aimed perfectly at that round spot on the OBC it was almost impossible but it could be done, they also added into the kit a new grey wire for the back of the charge receptical.......seemed the old one was prone to fail........ now with the orange light you can just put the tool ( a new tool ) right over the dash light and get your readings.......what other upgrades they did i can,t answer but i do know that starting in 98 when the OBC goes bad sometimes the cart will still run and charge however charger won,t shut off and it fries your batteries .......great upgrade huh.................i quit trying to figure them out because as soon as you think your on to something your not.................................

Re: How does 48V 2001 Club Cart OBC function?
I’m good with the explanation from Autoslot of how the OBC works and I’m also good knowing that unless I plan on removing mine and going to a different charger with its own OBC built in so to speak, there is nothing else left to worry about, especially if it really can’t be rebuilt. So I think I’ll be out on any more discussions, (no milk and cookies needed at least for me during story time in the future.)
One more thing… you can't bypass the negative lead going through the OBC nor can you change the direction of the lead by mistake… it won’t work. |

Re: How does 48V 2001 Club Cart OBC function?
Hey Doc I can't imagine the story being any longer than your prev. posts.
One of the club car techs told me that the obc has 4 main functions, I wish I had wrote them down because I can't remember them all. Obviously controlling the charger, preventing the cart from moving while charger connected, it also records the miles on the cart and other similar details. He showed me the diagnostics in the manual. But there is nothing on the schematics of the inside portions. I would recomend you get the m&s manual, there may be a supplement for the electrical system, I know there is for my 04. This will tell you the functions of the obc. I havn't bothered to get the supplement yet because I may be doing some changes that will render it of little use. |

Re: How does 48V 2001 Club Cart OBC function?
It has to do with the fact that DC is directional in flow.

Re: How does 48V 2001 Club Cart OBC function?
Heck, Im still wonderin why the Doc has such an interest in the internals of an OBC that cant be repaired anyway. I dont really understand how my DVD player/recorder does all that and with the speed it does, I mean come on, the color, HD clarity, sound , surround sound stereo all from a little itty bity laser beam.....but I accept that.
WHATS THE MOTIVE HERE DOC ?!?!?! |
