How to charge a low battery without charger

Bucky3d · 07-22-2018, 08:50 PM

Apparently My Charger OBC doesn't recognize my batteries, too low of a charge. ran down by my kids and not plugging back in. How can I jump start my batteries to get a higher voltage without the golf cart 17930 charger?
Can I use my car battery charger for a quick jump on each battery?

36 or 48 volt?

48 if he has an OBC. I’d charge one 8v at a time for a very short time.

Yep. Just keep an eye on things until they get back up to 8v. Obviously, your car charger will want to keep going well past 8v.

I've had to do this ... 8v batteries, just used 12v battery charger on each battery for about 7 minutes and it brought the pack up enough for the 48v cart charger to recognize it.

You can also "force" your Powerdrive charger to charge a pack that's been run too low, by jumpering the wires going to the relay inside it. See THIS LINK.

But you can't leave it like this, because it WON'T STOP CHARGING ON IT'S OWN once the jumper is in place.
