Odd battery problem
I have read the book on my DS48 and can not find a reference. Although the cart works great, when I step on the acellorator pedal the orange battery warning light flashes. Sometimes just dimly and sometimes very brightly. This is not the intermintent flashing from taking it off the charger before the batteries are fully charged. I bet the Mrs. that some one here would know exactly what the problem is. Thanks,

Re: Odd battery problem
That occurs because your pack voltage is dropping below that reference point (~50% I believe) and it has triggered the light through the OBC.
Has your cart sat for a while since charging? How old are your batteries? What volt and brand batteries do you have? What year is your cart by the way? |

Re: Odd battery problem
Thanks for the reply! Should have put all that in the original post. 1993 Club Car Power Drive System 48. We don't golf, but the MRS. uses it every day to drive around the place and check on various flower and veg. beds. Not heavily used and always put back on the charger every evening. The batteries are by Interstate. Designed to be used on a golf cart. They are about 16 months old, purchased from the local Napa store.Has always been serviced and repaired by the Club Car distributor in Oklahoma City. Thanks,

Re: Odd battery problem
Yup, as CTD said. Do this by disconnecting the pack negative for 20-30 mins and reconnecting it. If you have the lever arm style FNR switch, then place it in reverse after the pack disconnect and depress the pedal several times.

Re: Odd battery problem
What's the vehicle serial number? CTD is correct. The 48 V car didn't come out until 1995. In 1995 it had a red light. The orange light didn't come out until around 98-99 or so I believe.
