No, didn't know you could? Is there a thread on it?

Thanks, guess I'll start pricing them out.

Unhook the gray sense lead wire leave the fuse in the side going to receptacle alligator clip 10g wire to fuse to 48-
Monitor charger to 0-5 amps then unhook. It won't shut off on its own.
This will keep you charged until u get dpi
Make sure u buy the dpi with obc removed

Sorry I repeated jjance comment bout dpi..just noticed

Sorry, just a little confused on to what I'm supposed to do here (just until I receive new charger). I understand I will have to monitor charge as it will not turn off. What I'm I unhooking and Jumping?

thanks

Cart receptacle backside has 3 wires + - & gray wire with a yellow coupler with a 3/8a fuse in it. Separate coupler leave fuse in the coupler closest to receptacle. Now connect that to 48v-. I use a jumper with alligator clips.
The charger should charge now.

Perfect. Done.....Now that I'm manually charging the batteries what is a good/safe cut off voltage i'm looking for (at what voltage should I stop)?

Once the current drops down to 4 or 5 amps let it charge for a hour or so longer.

Not sure if i'm doing anything wrong or if batteries are already near full charge but ampmeter on charger is staying low (under 3) but is humming. Packs showing 49V

Let it go to 51v or so if u have a meter to monitor
If it's been a while at 49 u probably have a bad cell. 48 is like 50% so u can look at charts on here and see what 49 is. If u get 50.3 after rest it's 100%.
