Club Car 48 volt bypass OBC but not charging
I've determined that my OBC is bad. I've connected a negative jumper cable to the grey wire fuse to the negative (rear Driver side) and the charger turns on, which is great. However, the batteries are not charging. Why?

Re: Club Car 48 volt bypass OBC but not charging
If you have bypassed the OBC and the charger comes on ,
Take a voltage reading across the Battery pack with charger off and again with the charger on (with a digital meter) Post results here ! |

Re: Club Car 48 volt bypass OBC but not charging
So the batteries are actually charging ,
the cart is is below 10% charge level for operation. Check each battery to insure than one has not gone belly up. See this chart. http://www.buggiesgonewild.com/elect...-readings.html , no wonder it quit. check all cables and connections, check water levels 1/4" to 1/2 inch Distilled water over plates. Leave charger on OBC jumped for now and keep checking batteries every hour or so. after battery voltage gets up to arround 48-49 volts charger voltage should increase to around 60 Volts. Turn charger off when retiring for tonight and test again in AM. |

Re: Club Car 48 volt bypass OBC but not charging
 since i'm a newbie, do you have to disconnect each battery to check their charge? |
