Docbird

Charged eight days ago and then parked in garage. Two days ago would not go forward or reverse. Batteries good, lights bright. Plug in charger and there is no indication of any charging. No sound from reverse horn. |

Re: Docbird
We'll need more information, i.e. is it a 36v; 48v? Just because the 12v lights come on doesn't mean that you have enough power to move the cart. What is the pack voltage?

Re: Docbird
When you say fully charged, what is the voltage reading. I'm not saying your wrong, but we get people on here all the time that say my cart reads 36.3 volts, so it must be fully charged.

Re: Docbird
Checked each battery individually after talking to the battery technician on the phone at Trojan batteries. hydrometer of each cell showed all cells in the top of the good range. Six batteries in all. I will check with voltmeter to be sure.

Re: Docbird
No 36.3 is closer to 50% charged. Full charge on 36v pack is 38.2v.And they don't recommend discharging below 50%
It's just like if the battery in your truck reads 12v...that success is about dead as a hammer! It needs to read 12.6ish to be fully charged. |
