Default Ezgo battery problems

I let my 48volt ezgo batteries sit too long without a charge and my charge is telling me they are too drained to pick up. I checked water levels and have attempting to charge them with a 12 volt car charger as directed by several reputable videos. It says I should charge them individually. However my charger just sits with no needle movement when I do this. The charger is fine. Help please

Depending on how old and how discharged they are it may be time for new batteries. If you have a DVM check each battery voltage.

The cart charger needs to see almost 30v before it kicks on - safety feature. This charger cannot charge individual batteries. Use a 12v automotive type charger to charge 2/6v batteries in series to raise initial voltage.

My batteries are less than two years old. It has six 8volt batteries so I don't think I can charge them in series. However, I connected the first two in series and got a charge. But when I progress to the next two my charger just sits there and registers nothing on the meter. I've checked all the connections. And if I try to charge them individually the car charger again just sits with no needle movement.

8 volts is tough to charge by itself or in series with a car charger. You can try "Jumping" it with another 48 volt buggy. Connect them in parallel, then hook up the charger.

Would four nine volt batteries in series fool the charger into kicking on?

It would be easier to jumper the chargers relay then using 9v batteries.

If charger is transformer-less , EQ style , you cannot jumper relay.

The EQ style is factory charger for RXV and newer 48v EZ-GO as well as newer 36v catrs.

EQ has 1 led (no meter) and has fins on top.

Hope this helps.
