Club Car 48 Volt Charging Problem

[Alancs68]

Hello All,

It has been three weeks but I have just now been able to charge the cart and measure the voltage. I charged overnight and the charger appeared to be working normally. I am not sure how long it stayed on. In the morning the individual batteries measured between 8.63 and 8.67 volts, and the pack voltage was 52.0. I used the cart lightly for a day and plugged the charger in and it immediately began charging. Almost as soon as I plugged it in the amperage began gradually dropping from 15 down to around 8 or 9. After about 2 hours the amps were close to 6, and the pack voltage was around 60 volts. I am not sure how long it charged before cutting off.

Does this appear to be normal charging and do these voltages indicate a full charge? I am still a little miffed as to why the batteries died after only moderate use and why my charger relay was kicking on but showing 0 amps of charge. Also my low battery warning light never came on? However, now it all appears to work normally. These batteries were purchased new in March.

well what your posting now sounds normal ...............alway let the charger stay on until its done thats the worst thing to do is quit charging it to take it for a ride.............keep an eye on it and hopefully things are ok........................
