Charger problem
Hi. I haven't been here for awhile. My 36v Ezgo cart has been working great for a long time. I send it to the spa every year for maintenance. I also send the charger. That was just done about 3 months ago.
Recently, when I would plug the charger into the cart, it wouldn't engage. I am using a very long heavy duty extension cord from the cart to an exterior GFCI outlet. It has never tripped. It's on the same breaker as another GFCI which I use for my water garden pumps. I've tested the GFCI outlet used for the cart, and it checks out good. I changed the location of where I plug the extension cord in and then plugged in the charger to the cart. But it turns on, then off, on, then off. I live out in the country and keep the cart in a ShelterLogic shed......where there are lots of bugs. I thought I saw an old hornet nest and poked on it and it dropped. Then I wasn't sure how to take the charger apart to remove it. So........here's my questions: Could that possible nest be shorting something out in the charger? I don't think it's a problem with the extension cord, or the GFCI would be tripping. Could it be that one or more of the batteries are low on fluid? Or does it sound like a failing charger? I'm not real mechanical, so please talk to me in simple terms. I'm an old lady. |

Re: Charger problem
Sounds like you have one of the QE powerwise chargers (with all the fine on one side). That is what I call "click of death", clicks on and off and on forever. There are no service parts for working on those chargers. There places that do repair them. I wouldn't put any money into repairing those, they have proven to be very unreliable. Check out the chargers offered by ScottyB (www.cartsunlimited.net)
