Default Something Draining My Batteries? Help!

2004 EzGo TXT
Put the cart in the garage for the winter and plugged it in and put in tow. The charger (Power Wise) charged it up and it shut down when finished. I went out today, a day later and I noticed it was charging again at a very low rate.(needle at zero, but buzzing). Is this normal? Why would the charger kick on again so soon?

What type of charger do you have - model number?

Unless you charger has a float mode, you'll need to reinitiate a charge at least monthly.

Yes, I did reinstate it and it charged completely and turned off like normal. I went back out a day later and it was turned on (buzzing) but only at a rate of 0 or 1. I just found it odd that it kicked back on a day later after being fully charged.

Did you try unplugging it from the cart? Did the buzzing stop? Model number?

It was running just how you would expect it to. It's just a day later it decided to kick on again as if the batteries were draining.

The title of the post might give it away.

Power Wise. Stopped charging for 2 days but this morning I went out and it was on charging at 1amp. Feel like something is draining it a little.

Something is amiss. That charger is not designed to restart a charge (kick back on) without unpluging and then replugging into the cart first.
