So I did exactly what Sergio said and the batteries started to charge, any idea on how long I should expect it to take for them to charge? I had the charger on it last night for about 2 hours and it went up from 41.6v to 49.5. Seemed kind of slow

Going from 42 to 49 volts in two hours is FAST! Keep in mind, at 42 volts your pack was dead, dead, dead!

A discharged pack can take up to 16 hours to charge. Keep the charger on, and monitor the voltage 'til it hits 60v (per Sergio's advice - unplug at that point).

Then 12 hours after you've unplugged, measure your pack voltage and advise what your DVM reads.

I charged the batteries over night and checked the pack this morning. It was up to 55v. I jacked up the back of the golf cart and put it in forward and hit the pedal and the wheels moved about an inch and that was it. I would think at 55v it should at least spin the wheels when they are off the ground right? Must have another problem somewhere else too?

Sounds like your Solenoid is not closing, did You run the Yellow wire from the Solenoid small post directly to pack negative to by-pass the OBC lockout?

I ran a jumper from the yellow wire to the ground stud on the controller

By "ground stud" do You mean B-?

Make sure the Solenoid is "closing" when you hear it click.

On a "Series Cart", you can also jump the big posts of the Solenoid (connect them together) to eliminate the Solenoid.

Yes it’s hooked to B-

The solenoid does click when I hit the pedal but I will try to jump it and see what happens
