NEED ADVICE 2014 Precedent sepex
2014 Precedent 48 volt. Brand new batteries. Seems sluggish...BUT the issue seems to maybe the charger. It's one of those new weird ones with fins ( will the older style box looking charger work? ) Sold it running fine...customer called..said while charging the batteries were gurgling ( normal ) BUT then he said he unplugged charger and battery pack showed 60 volts ! I had installed brand new light kit and voltage reducer. Lights are now non-operative. I brought it home tested battery pack 49.3 volts. Connected charger...it's on now after one hour showing 53.3 volts.. Is this newer style charger troublesome? Charger model IC 0650-048CC. Fuse and all wires to lights and voltage reduced good...it's seems to have burned out the reducer, I'm going to install another one. GRATEFUL for any advice with this issue !! |

Re: NEED ADVICE 2014 Precedent sepex
No, the ERIC systems are EXCELLENT smart chargers and any charger he has will always have a high voltage at the end as the amps are low and is topping off the charge. ~12 hours after the charge he should have at least a stable 50.9vdc to be at 100%. New batteries will hold a little higher.
And with "new" batteries it will charge a little higher and a little longer as they are not seasoned at all. The maximum output for the charger is 72vdc, but again, that would be for a very low amp and to correctly charge the batteries. Not sure how it plays into the reducer issue.... P.S. Those are also known as "High Frequency" Chargers. |

Here is the spec sheet for that charger. Print it out and supply it to your consumer so he is more comfortable with how it works.

Re: NEED ADVICE 2014 Precedent sepex
He was scared because it had reached 60 volts and not shut off.
I think the reducer may have just been bad, I checked the bulbs and they are fine THANK YOU SIR !! |

Re: NEED ADVICE 2014 Precedent sepex
O.K. I did a OBC reset, and plugged the charger in. the green light in the middle came on pulsing. I got the following readings from my multimeter:
10:38 49.3 volts 11:31 52.3 12:39 53.3 1:50 55.4 3:02 55.6 4:27 56.0 4:53 57.1 5:15 57.4 now the last small green light is pulsing...is it a maintainance cycle? If so is it just going to make the voltage keep climbing? He was scared when it got to 60 volts ! There are 6 - 8volt batteries ! Thanks |

Re: NEED ADVICE 2014 Precedent sepex
Posting this for all who see or followed this thread. This was my first time dealing with the newer (2014) precedent and the charger that came with it. I had put all new batteries in before selling to customer. When he used the charger and it made bubbling noises in the batteries and the pack voltage went to 60 volts, he panicked and freaked out fearing it would explode in his garage and destroy his antique rolls royce!
I picked it up brought it to the shop and also feared an explosion ! It took 18 hrs for the charger to shut off, and as you saw on my earlier posts, I kept a record of the times and the voltage climbing. Shortly after it shut off, battery pack voltage dropped to 52.9 The cart ran much better than before and everything is just fine. So.. thanks to the wonderful folks on this forum I've just picked up some valuable knowledge. Great day !! |
