Re: club car solenoid wireing help
Yea. It is definitely is not working the way it is hooked up now...
The large spark is a result of the current quickly flowing to fill the large, empty capacitors in the controller. A "Pre-Charge Resistor" is normally installed between the two large posts on the contactor to avoid this large spark every time the contactor closes. -sj |

Re: club car solenoid wireing help
. . . not unusual for charger to sit at 5 amps for several hours at end of charge cycle as charger attempts to equalize pack . . .

Re: club car solenoid wireing help
Sounds like it is working correctly. The OBC actually controls the charge, the charger itself is "dumb". It just comes on and shuts off when its told by the OBC. The OBC may take a few charge/discharge cycles to recalibrate after being disconnected. !6 hours is the max it should stay on. If more than 16 hours have elapsed on a single charge, something is up with the OBC or the batteries.
