Some electrical questions
I'm working on a clubcar (prefix PH from 2004) that has some disconnected wires under the seat. What is the use of the blue wire on the positive terminal and the lose black wire on the negative terminal.
Also where is the battery gauge connected on? It always shows the cart is 100% full. Also when I discharge the car, it is still able to drive. Is a club car charger suposse to go on and off during its charge cycle? I hope yall can answer my questions. Pics below Verstuurd vanaf mijn SM-G973F met |

Re: Some electrical questions
What kind of volt meter do you have?
I have one bar meter that has a negative and a positive plus a wire for key switch to turn on and off with key. When I turn the run/tow switch it resets the meter to full no matter the battery charge level. The blue connector is for a positive 48 volt connection if you the yellow for the negative. You could use those connections to hook your meter but it will stay on all the time, no big current draw. As the batteries loose charge the meter would go down if hooked to those wires. |

The car came to me with the problem that it was driving verry slow. (0.3 mph kind of slow). I charged the batteries and problem solved. Or atleast I hope that that was the issue. Cart says is full all the time. Will cause that owner does not charge the thing ever. Verstuurd vanaf mijn SM-G973F met Tapatalk |

The charger should come on and normally show about a 17A draw for a few minutes, it then switches off for a moment and then comes back on. This is the OBC working out how much power it needs to put back into the batteries. Good batteries will operate according to the attached table. If you haven't already got one, get a multimeter so that you can measure the voltages regularly. Note that the pack at rest should be no less than 48.41V (for a 48V system). Below this you will start to damage the batteries. Those gauges are very innacurate and you should think about replacing it with a digital gauge. Scotty at Carts Unlimited or Dave at Revolution Golf Cars (both site sponsors) have good ones available. They are better that the cheap ones from eBay or Amazon. Good luck. |

Re: Some electrical questions
Yawood has given great advice.
If something causes the owner to "not charge ever" nothing will fix that. |
