2002 DS/the battery runs down quickly/ after Full charge

[jjance]

Seems as though i could buy the right charger for less than buying new batteries.

Just guessing but I think those batteries are shot so a new charger wouldn't help I just mentioned Sams because you wouldn't want to order batteries on line. The shipping would be almost as much as the battery.

After Re-tightening down the battery cables; on all of them, this cart is not clicking "to much" as it was. one clik forwards one clik for reverse. This CC charger is keeping them up for a week or more, now.I also had An automatic charger here in m garage. So it charges these batteries good also, only ......more on a trickle charge. I can hear it here clicking; off then- on every- little while -.. bob s

I just recently bought a new charger from Scottyb(sponsor) that allows for battery charging without the OBC and a kit from Tahoez71 that enabled me to bypass the OBC harness. I am real certain that particular charger can be set up for flooded batteries or agm batteries. In fact, I think it gives you switch settings for six different battery combinations. I would answer for sure but the cart is 25 miles from here at the hunting club.

I'm pretty green at these golf cars .obc what does this do? Is it needed to charge gel cell batteries -12 volt? or share what you know about this. I have been charging my cart with C/C CHARGER I takes the charge-[,lasts a week]- and it cliks off and on . So i think this maybe an automatic charger , regulating the current going into them am i right?? bob s

sounds good rpatten that way you'er covered in all the charging situations
