Wow, I did not know that...
Cool!

Of course he is right, That's why I sent the Z71 searchlight beams up over the city of Gotham to get the answer for you boys

Another stupid question, I guess. Do they make any of the new 48 volt club cars that come from the factory with 4-12 volt batteries?
My friend has a 2 year old cart that he says, came that way.
any way I borrowed his charger and it charged 15 amps for a minute and then cut back below zero, like it was reverse polarity, so I unplugged it and decided to wait until I can get the parts to overhaul mine. I am just wondering if there may be something wrong on my cart to make it not want to charge.
I must have pretty good batteries in mine, as I have run it a good distance for a week, and it still shows 47.2 volts on a meter. Maybe it just isn't ready to be charged yet.

Yes CC produced precedents with 4/12v batteries.

At 47.2 volts your cart is past due for a charge.
They are sitting at 30% capacity. Recharge is recommended at 50% or 48.4v

Thank you sir, I will have my rebuild parts tomorrow, and if it is the charger then I should be in business. I still runs good and if the new pot holds up, I will be really please. I appreciate all the help and patience from everybody. Happy Easter!!

Parts came in and charger is working. My only concern is that it only shows 10 amps when it's charging, and it should show at least 15-17 amps when the battery is low, I would think.
Guess I had better not complain as it did put a full charge in the cart overnight and had cut off when I looked this morning.
Just hope it all keeps working. Thanks for all the help.

On the Radio Shack potentiometer, do you recall how you hooked it up? I was trying but not getting a response. I used just the purple and yellow wires. Where does the white wire connect?
