I'm I overcharging ?

Yes, the pack negative is the cable that runs through the OBC opening.

The pack positive cable is the one that goes to the Solenoid big post.

The pack positive and negative cables are the only ones that do not connect to another battery.

Thank you so much.. Honestly didn't even know where the OBC was till this discussion and I took the back panel off to see it...

So exactly what might I expect to see happen when I hook it back up..

Should I put the charger on..?

Hope I'm not being a PITA...

After 10 minutes just connect the pack negative back to the battery post.

You then just connect the charger to the cart and let it run until it turns off.

It will take several hours to finish the charging so don't be in a hurry.

Once the baseline charging is complete it should take less time on future charging cycles.

you wont see anything in particular when you hook it back up , but when you do let the charger do its thing and complete a full cycle . could be 12 hours or better

Well didn't turn out so well.
Charging top out @ about 3 hours (62.4) and set there for another 5 hours and never turned off. (Total 8 hours)

I took it off at that point because I wanted to use it..but never wanted to go beyond 62.4 and still didn't turn off.
Maybe normal but seems strange..?

To summarize what the guys above have said:

That voltage is not too high.

8 hours is not too long.

So you're thinking I should leave it on longer?
I'm thinking I might be too inpatient..?

Yes, that is what they are saying...I've seen mine charge for 12 hours before. Start process over (Sergio's instructions), disconnect pack negative for 10 minutes or so, then reattached neg and put on charge until charger cuts off--12 hours or so. Let sit for a couple of hours, ride for a while, then put back on charger and you will most likely see normal charge times. Although, it is not unusual for mine to take 6-8 hours to charge normal.
