charging pros

have a 2010 48v txt
cart runs great, but it wouldn't charge today.. the ezgo charger just blinks red when I plug it in. The cart is used daily but not a lot. yesterday I did drive it on the street after a rain. there was some water on roads in areas. Anyone have an idea was is going on ? Maybe I got something wet?

Plug-unplug from the cart numerous times. It's very possible there is dirt present in the charge receptacle. Also possible that the OEM charger is dying. They start acting like this sometimes.

Additionally, unplug from AC power for at least 15 seconds. That resets the charger.

Also, how many times does the LED flash red before repeating the sequence.

The charger gives a clue as to the problem with the flash pattern.
Watch pattern... look on side of charger for codes.


LED OPERATION CODES:
SHORT GREEN FLASH = less than 80% charged
LONG GREEN FLASH = more than 80% charged
SOLID GREEN = 100% charged
RED FLASH = fault code

LED FAULT CODES:
RED FLASH: Light turns on briefly, but does not
flash after that – check for valid AC voltage.

ONE RED FLASH: One flash, a pause and then
again one flash and a pause – Charge Enable
Fault: poor contact in the DC connector or dirty
contacts or Battery Temperature Fault: battery
temperature is greater than 122° F (50° C) or less
than 14° F (-10° C).

TWO RED FLASHES: Two flashes, a pause and
then again two flashes and a pause – Battery Voltage
Fault: Battery pack is less than 36.0 Volts or
more than 67.2 Volts. Battery pack is too discharged
or over charged for the charger to work.

THREE RED FLASHES: Three flashes, a pause
and then again three flashes and a pause – Battery
Charge Time-out: Charge time exceeded 24
hours. This may indicate a problem with the battery
pack or that the charger output current was
severely reduced due to high ambient temperatures.

FOUR RED FLASHES: Four flashes, a pause and
then again four flashes and a pause – Battery
Fault: Charge time exceeded. This indicates a
problem with the battery pack voltage not reaching
the required nominal level within the maximum
time allowed.

SIX RED FLASHES: Six flashes, a pause and
then again six flashes and a pause – Charger
Fault: An internal fault has been detected. If this
fault is displayed again after unplugging the
charger’s DC power cord and plugging it back in,
the charger must be taken to a qualified service
center.

I hope theses charger fault codes can help you figure out the problems you are having.
