Re: Obc replacement 1997 ds
If I understand correctly you are going to be putting in new batteries. I would try the cart the way it is before changing the obc. I'm not the sharpest one about this, but I have a feeling you cart will charge correctly with new batteries. Will not hurt to give it a try.

Re: Obc replacement 1997 ds
There is no "easy" way to change an angle-mount OBC. This was before the introduction of the mounting panel, and the deutsch plug. Unfortunately, every wire on the OBC has to be routed entirely from point A to Point B. As for your symptoms, you need to change the OBC for sure. It's failed and it's "stuck" in charge mode. An OBC with these symptoms will NEVER turn off a charger. It'll sit there and boil your batteries as long as you leave it plugged in.

Re: Obc replacement 1997 ds
Can I replace the obc before new batteries? Or should I I currently cannot use the cart and be confident in the use of it far from home. Would it recondition the batteries alittle bit before getting new batteries?

Yes, you can replace it any time you want. No, it will not do anything for your existing batteries....
