Digital Voltmeter reading of batteries very high
So I installed my new Digital Voltmeter from Scott at Carts Unlimited. My cart is 48 volt Club Car. Works great, I decided to go directly to the batteries and not use the key switch. Question - with my charger plugged in, and the batteries at full charge, I'm getting a reading of over 60 volts, is this normal? I un-plugged the charger last night and the reading this morning is now in the low 50's. Any thoughts?
Thanks |

Sounds normal to me. The charger will build the voltage up to as mush as 60+ volts before charger turns off.

Re: Digital Voltmeter reading of batteries very high
Okay, just wasn't sure. I'm getting ready to swap out my 500 FSIP controller with a 700 amp, and change out all of my #4 with #2 cables, new super heavy duty solenoid, so I'm going to build an OBC stud, I'm also assuming I will need to re-set the OBC, which made me start thinking maybe it was acting up when I initially did the #4 cable swap. Thanks for your input. Rob

Re: Digital Voltmeter reading of batteries very high
What is your plan to build an obc stud? I have been thinking about doing this because the #2 wire I have is to fat to fit through the hole.
