Batteries slow charging

jatkinson1960 · 10-19-2017, 02:21 PM

I have a 2011 48V. I put new batteries in it last year and everything worked great. Now after sitting a few days when I put the charger on it goes right over to 14v and is very slow charging. Even if it hasn't been driven it is the same way. It always charges back up but takes forever. Wondering if I could have a bad battery?

You need to let the batteries fully charge, up to 16 hours. Then anytime you finish using the cart plug the charger up so it can charge and keep your batteries charged. If you don't do this you will always have trouble with your cart not running right and the batteries will not hold up very long.

And 12 hours after a completely full charge, get our your digital volt meter and check each battery individually. Should be in the attached neighborhood.

Thanks, I'll make sure they are completely charged and check the voltage.
