Obc bad
The OBC on my 2004 club car ds 48v is toast. Do I get another 0BC or do I buy another charger that I can use by bypassing my OBC? I have it bypassed now but don’t know how lon to charge my batteries. I have brand new batteries and don’t want to over charge them.

Re: Obc bad
Order you a new DPI accusense. Scottyb has them http://www.cartsunlimited.net/chargers-36-48v.html. The OBC's were good, but they are not as good as a smart charger and the Accusense is about the best in my opinion.
It can charge but after about 4-5 hours check it with your DVM and stop it once you are at ~61 volts. It can run up to 63 volts but it is slow going. And you are correct, do not leave it like that long as over time it will deteriorate your pack. |

Re: Obc bad
What should be the total volts for a 48 V bank? I’m getting around 50 volts. Should it be closer to 60 with brand new batteries. I ordered an accusence charger yesterday.

Re: Obc bad
12 hours after the charge has completed you should have 50.93 or better.....

Re: Obc bad
I bought an accusense charger. I bypassed the obc so I could still charge the batteries. Do I need to undo the bypass and put it like it was when the obc was good in order for the accusense to automatically shut off? I hooked up the accusense 2 hours ado and it’s still charging. I thought the bank was already fully charged but maybe not.

Re: Obc bad
It takes a little longer to charge new batteries. Did you get these two docs I have attached with your new charger?

Re: Obc bad
No, I did not get those, my charger is used. Thanks so much. I’ll have to read them so I’ll know more about how to use this charger.

Re: Obc bad
How do I tell if it’s generation 3 or 4? The model number is 1-48017-04. Does that mean it’s a generation 4?
