Testing the Battery Charger

GoldWinger88 · 01-08-2011, 02:58 PM

Is there a procedure for testing the Battery Charger?
I have 2 for each of my carts and neither are working by plugging them in to the carts.
Thanks

Give a little more information on the chargers and probablly will get better response.

I just bought a cart that I was told only had a bad charger. I was told the cart ran and then the batteries died, When I got the cart home I checked the batteries and they all showed 6 volts. When you step on the gas nothing happens, no clicks anything. When the charger is plugged in it clicks but doesn;t turn on. I was hoping somebody might steer me in the right direction before I drag it to the shop. It is the older 1989 Clubcar. .

To jump the solenoid do I just take a 12 gauge wire from the big terminal that connects to the batteries and jump to one of the smaller terminals. Can a bad solenoid keep the batteries from charging. Thanks

You should start your own post to ask more questions. It is considered bad manners to hijack someone elses question with more of your own...

It all depends on the charger make and model. Give some more info and we'll be glad to help!

I will remember that next time,

GoldWinger88 · 01-10-2011, 06:54 AM

I will get more info off of them. They are the same make and models
I am not sure sure the circuit they were plugged into might have taken a lightening strike and the fuses blew. Neither have a reset button like the older ones I remember and I assume the fuse is inside, so "Disassemble" is in the future.

Be back with more input..

Yeah, I know Corny, I saw Short Circuit the other night...

Both are Power Wise Model # 28115G04.

I saw a schematic on the net, but did not see any fuses. I know there has to be one somewhere in there.

Any suggestions?
