Re: 8 volt club car batteries
Yes, actually all of these readings are very low. Do they all have water in them above plates? Have these been charged lately? How old are these? Can you give us a little more information about them? Must be a reason why that battery is so far off voltage from the rest.

Re: 8 volt club car batteries
I had it sitting in garage with new batteries for about 2 months and the kids would use it every now and then going around the block. But my on cart digital voltage meter was always reading above 50 and while driving down to 48 or 49 so I figured I didn’t have to charge yet. Now the meter read 48 and when drive drops to 36 and the cart was not going as fast so I figured it was time to charge. But now charger clicks on and clicks off and it won’t start the charge sequence. So I was wondering if my new batteries have gone bad or got to low to charge with an automatic charger

Re: 8 volt club car batteries
Oh no, I hope you haven't ruined your batteries. First thing to do if you don't have a regular car charger, is to take batteries to someone that has a charger that will charge the batteries to a point that your auto charger will "recognize" your batteries. You should ALWAYS charge your cart after each use. Look under the "stickies" on the Home button and learn as much as you can about battery maintainance and care. It will save you a lot of money in the long run.

Re: 8 volt club car batteries
You should still have plenty enough pack voltage for the charger to recognize the pack and charge it.
Where is the RED wire from your charge receptacle connected to the pack? It should be to the same post as the main positive cable. What year and what cart? DS? Precedent? |
