yes, there is a Golf cart shop in Watkinsville where I live, but I know his prices will be high...but ya gotta have one...:)

A new Trojan T-105 cost me $105 just down the road from you. Used ones would hopefully be cheaper, but I've never priced one.

Morning all

hate to keep asking questions...but I left my borrowed charger on overnight...battery meter volts on cart show 44.5. The ammeter on the charger shows 5 where yesterday it was in the 15 range. The charger instructions says it will automatically shut off when completely charged...any idea how much longer it should charge?

Thanks

The charger will automatically turn off when it reaches a set voltage OR when it times out. If your bad battery is preventing the pack from fully charging, the charger will finally give up.

I think the general consensus is that you probably won't hurt the batteries if left on until it times out IF you have a healthy pack. You may be overcharging the healthy ones if one isn't "pulling its weight".

Be sure and check electrolyte levels after charging completes, as you may need to add distilled water more frequently with one bad apple.

Thanks Yurtle.

im 50/50 on the potential bad battery...I will check it once charging is complete and after I run the cart awhile

think i will upgrade to 4g battery cables while im in a spending spree....any write ups on how to do this?

Check it now (while it's still charging). Give us a reading (to the 1/10 volt) of each battery and the pack total.

the suspect battery is 6.7.....pack is 40.7

charger did shut itself off automatically
