Re: Need help reading smart charger
Wheres the F/R switch located? Dash or under edge of seat...if under seat is it a rocker switch or handle?
I've seen a few series controllers shut down when they get hot. Last one I fixed I just used 4 gauge cables and made sure everything was connected good. PDS controllers are notorious for shutting down when lifts are added. (bigger tires) |

Re: Need help reading smart charger
f/r switch is in middle under seat but has a rod connecting to box on passenger side. When it didnt make it up the driveway I had been driving it stop and go for an hour and about 1-2 miles total distance covered.

Re: Need help reading smart charger
Well I am still treading lightly with my new cart after it dying on my driveway yesterday. I charged it over night and this morning the charger read 0 DC so atleast I know it got a full charge. I took it a couple blocks from my house and back today and put it back on charger and in about 2 hours it was almost back to 0. Typically shouldn't I be able to drive ~10miles on a full charge? When I checked voltage after short cruise the voltage on the pack read 37.9 soI guess it was solid. I haven't even used my headlights or radio yet because I am worried how much the will drain my batteries. From your experience do they burn out the batteries fast? Last thing I want to happen is to get stranded and have to push the cart home.

Re: Need help reading smart charger
Have you checked to see if any of the cables are getting warm while charging?
You have a series cart. |

Checked the cables after an hour of charging and felt no distinguishable heat coming from them.
