Charger Problems?
I'm a newbie. Plus I'm old, cheap and poor. Bought a used CC, ser. no. A9903.. which, I guess makes it a 1999. Looks and acts older. Trying to get it to perform better. The ACCU Power (Club Car) charger never gets above 15-16 Amps. even after plugging the cart in after 18 holes. Even though meter has capacity to read up to 30. DOes that indicate a charger problem? One of the fuses blown? Charger will run for 2-3 hours or more, slowly dropping down. If I re-plug it, either shortly thereafter, or next day (having not moved cart) it'll read up to 15-16 again, and slowly drop from there, maybe taking 1 hour. Thanks. I just spent about 2 hours looking thru' posts on a variety of subjects, and it sure looks like you fellers know a lot of "stuff" about a lot of things. HOping I can learn to maintain my cart properly. thanks. Tony

Re: Charger Problems?
36 or 48 volt? Might have had the wrong meter installed in charger.

Re: Charger Problems?
Welcome to BGW.
I think he's asking about the guage on the charger face? The charger you have is a 15amp charger. The guage they used is a 30 amp guage but you will notice that the fuse reset button on the front of the charger says 15 amps on it... That is all she puts out |

Re: Charger Problems?
Thanks, Scotty. It's a 6x6 volt. Didn't look at the fuse/reset, at least not with my reading glasses on. Guess there's other problems. Are there any usual suspects if perhaps voltage is leaking out after a charge? Although now I think of it, probably not, since I can let it sit, "fully" charged for a week, and no apparent difference in its performance compared to running immediately after a charge. Guess it may be on its last legs. /t

Re: Charger Problems?
Sounds like it is working normal to me,It probably is a resistor car and they arent powerhouses anyway.

Re: Charger Problems?
No..... I don't like the sound of it only charges for 2-3 hours after 18 holes.... How old are the batteries? There si a date code on some NEG terminals or sticker on the side? A5 = Jan 2005. Can you give any voltage reading from each battery? Not much we can tell with out test info?
