96' 48v club car DS - Charging new batteries

spf34 · 12-17-2019, 10:31 AM

Installed 6 new 8 volt Trojan T-875 batteries and new cables. Cart set for at least a month without batteries. Main negative goes through the OBC.

Left on charge all night. Pack voltage is @ 64, charger sitting at 5 amps on meter. Unplugged the charger, checked each battery voltage. all are at 9.3 volts.

Is this right or do I have a faulty OBC or charger (powerdriveplus 2)?

Everything is ok. You should of let it finish it's charge. the volts could get a little higher before it turns off

Thanks for answering.

Just wanted to make sure I wasn't frying my new batteries.

With new batteries it is not uncommon to go up to 16 hours (then it will time out). The max the PD can go to is ~66/67 volts. If you exceed 16 hours or 67 volts, unplug it has we have an OBC issue.
