Re: Delta Q not charging
Well if anything it’s let me pull a few wires and get some accessories setup while it’s not running. I went ahead and ordered a new charger receptacle from Amazon anyway in case that was the issue. Old one looked a bit ragged anyway and I am not sure if I am supposed to have an operable LED light on it. Looked like it when I took it apart. The grey sensor wire is supposed to trigger the charger from what I read via some temp setting. Mine looks ok but you can’t beat new for 68 or so dollars with free shipping.

Re: Delta Q not charging
Where did you get a charger for $68?
If I was gonna spend money on a charger I would have bought a Lester summit II or a Delta IC650 that can be updated and can get charge data from. |

Re: Delta Q not charging

Re: Delta Q not charging
Well here is the inside of my Delta Q. I wasn't gonna open it up until I heard the rattle today. Figured a quick look wasn't gonna hurt anything. I suppose its toast. I do wonder what caused all that damage however. It looks like something blew up in there with all the black plastic pieces and burned up parts.

Re: Delta Q not charging
Yep, I still think the charger is bad too . The plastic pieces were a bracket that holds that big copper coil down. Betting the charger was dropped pretty bad to break that bracket. Coil probably rubbed through on black heatsink, creating major short.

Re: Delta Q not charging
Almost looks like a capacitor exploded. Either way, it's TOATS now. (TO' All To Sh..) Time for a smarter charger.

Re: Delta Q not charging
New DPI just got setup. I learned a few things while doing it. My Trojans are DC 8V’s not T-875’s. I had to set mode 4 on the DPI to charge after calling their tech line. Very polite and helpful service from them btw. Not happy about the DC-8V’s. I found a guy close by that sells Trojan and Crown at a good price so I may upgrade after the results of this charge cycle. It kinda makes me wonder what charge profile was on my fried Delta Q. Right now there isn’t much I need to do/for the cart. I’ll upgrade the batteries next and then the controller and buy a decent trailer to haul it around. I want 15’s on the trailer wheels and maybe 6x12L. My batts are still bubbling while at rest so I ordered new caps off eBay. I know these still have some life but I need a good excuse to drop the $950 on a new set of 190ah Crowns.

Re: Delta Q not charging
Thanks all who contributed for the advice. Batteries seemed to gain a volt at rest. I am at 50.9 right now. Very happy with the DPI right now. Voltage does dip under load however but I think that might be stock controller/big tire related. Might forego the new batteries in lieu of a Alltrax upgrade first.
