5 batteries are at 9.8, one battery is at 10.

I have seen pack voltage hit 66 V before the charger shuts off. Sometimes it can take 16 hours.

Isn’t that high of a voltage bad for the pack? I have one of those silly analog meters on my cart and it shows it pegged. Need to swap that out for a digital one, I’m sick of lifting the seat and putting my meter on it. I’d love to have a meter for each individual battery. Spring project.....

In the future set your meter to 20vDC when measuring individual batteries to get 2 decimal places.

If the voltage gets above 64v measure the batteries again to make sure they are all coming up in voltage together.

It is pretty much just surface charge. It is normal for a club car with an OBC. It won’t hurt your batteries.

I have a fluke 73, it shows 2 decimal places. 9.84-9.86 and then 10.04

Ok, so I just checked them this morning. Charger was on for about 12 hrs. The charger was off when I checked, and all batteries read around 8.49v give or take a 1/10th if a volt or so. Pack voltage was 50.74. I unplugged the charger from the cart, waited a minute and plugged it back in. Looks like all these batteries are good.

That’s great. It’s working normally.
