2001 Club Car Charger Problem
I have a 2001 club car and am having a problem with the charger. It will not shut off as it should.
Any Suggestions. |

Re: 2001 Club Car Charger Problem
If the charger has run for 10-12 hours, I would suspect 1 or more bad batteries or a bad charge circuit connection

Re: 2001 Club Car Charger Problem
Sorry about the duplicate...It did not show up in the my threads area.
The batteries are all new. I had the same problem with my old batteries (original 2001s). |

Re: 2001 Club Car Charger Problem
Has someone worked on the charger and bypassed something?

Re: 2001 Club Car Charger Problem
Do you have a voltmeter? Can you verify that the battery pack voltage increases when the charger is on?

Re: 2001 Club Car Charger Problem
I will get a voltmeter and report back.
In the mean time...the cart has been performing well. I have been using the new batteries for about threem months. I have driven it well over fifteen miles on a full charge and still had power, but I have to simply unplug the charger when it hits about 2-3 amps. What do I need to look for to tell if something is bypassed? Thanks |

Re: 2001 Club Car Charger Problem
The first 20 use & recharge cycles are CRITICAL to properly break in the battery pack..... You need to figure this out fast or your battery's useful life may be comprimised.... at 2-3 amps the charger is trying to level the battery's charge or equalize them all. What is the voltage and specific gravity of all batteries ?

Re: 2001 Club Car Charger Problem
Check your charger with another cart. I bet that it is your OBC!! 9 out of 10 times that people come into the shop with a "chager problem" then it is the OBC.
