Charger clicked but no meter movement
Just to let you know...
The other day I came home after a round of golf and plugged in the charger (Precedent cart with a PowerDrive charger). The charger clicked as usual but there was no meter movement and no sign of any amps flowing. I tried switching the charger off and on, switching the wall socket off and on, reinserting the wall socked, reinserting the cart plug; all to no avail. So as a first step I cleaned the positive connectors to the main +ve on the battery pack and checked the tightness of all the battery connections (which were all OK), plugged it back in and all is OK again. The first charge went for a while because I had obviously reset the OBC when I had the positive terminal apart for a while as I cleaned the connectors but since then everything is normal (plug in and it clicks after a few seconds, power flows, meter shows about 15+ amps, switches off again after about ten or twenty seconds then comes back on and completes the charge - all as it should be). So the bottom line is if your charger clicks but does not have any amperage flow, just check and clean your battery connections before anything else. That may be all it is (or maybe it's the fact that the OBC resets as you are doing it). |
