You need to do yourself a favor and plug the charger in an leave town. Just walk away from it until it is done. It is a computer it has a program to run and certain parameters to meet before it is finished... when it is finished it will shut off.
Expect the same every-time you charge.

I did scotty I am out to eat with wife reading other post learning. Hopefully when I get home it will be turned off so I can chill out and think what money I saved myself. Thanks man what is the volt reading when it turns off and how many voltage can they possible get up too with out damaging the batteries

Tdawg says 58.3 but I have seen as high as 62v and remember no 2 voltmeters read the same so I wouldn't panic until it went over 65. Then pull the plug and regroup.
You got a lot to read just to learn about how that cart works and how to keep it going ...... learn to use the search button more and the pm system less

Good luck
