charging problem
I have a Yam G19E. About half of the time I plug it in and leave it a while when I come back it's flashing "abnormal cycle". Sometimes unplugging and trying again fixes the problem, sometimes not. What does this mean?

Re: charging problem
How old are your batteries? Are the charging wires tight and clean, and in the right place? Is your plug making good contact with the receptacle? I had some 2000 G19Es and never had that problem with them, so I'm just throwing ideas out there.

Re: charging problem
I had one at work do this...Check all the cables and make sure they are clean and tight. Clean all the battery corrosion off and put them back on.

Re: charging problem
Everything is clean and tight but I don't know how old the batteries are. I thing they need replacing as I slow way down going up a hill and they don't seem to stay charged very long. I didn't realize that was what the "abnormal cycle" could be indicating.

Re: charging problem
Look at the code stamped into the top of the battery terminal and report back your findings. That will tell you the how old the batteries are.

Re: charging problem
If the car is "slowing" down rapidly, and having charging problems, and they are 5 years old. It's a pretty safe bet that the batteries have lived their life. Most of them anyways, and you don't want to get into the habit of changing one battery at a time.

Re: charging problem
Well this is getting frustating. I bought new batteries. Cart runs good but when plugged to charger the charger just reads "incomplete", it never begins charging. This actually started before I changed the batteries but I just assumed it was related to the previous problems. Before this started I left the charger out hooked to the cart and it rained hard. It seemed to start after that. What now?
Thanks for your help, Derek |
