Re: Charging problem on 48 V. CC
You can charge it with a 12V charger but only for 5 to 10 minutes at a time. Monitor battery voltage and make sure battery does not get more than slightly warm to the touch.

Re: Charging problem on 48 V. CC
Completely depends on what the voltage is to start with. Just charge it for 10 min or so, making sure the battery case does not get too warm. Take if off the charger for 15 minutes, check voltage. Repeat as necessary.

Re: Charging problem on 48 V. CC
I just went and put a 10 amp charger on it for about 8 or 10 min. and it did not get warm. I checked the voltage and it was 8.30.. about perfect with the others. I sure appreciate the help... I will wait about a half hour and i will go get another reading.
Thanks again ! |

Re: Charging problem on 48 V. CC
Glad it worked out. As GarageBuilt said, key is taking your time and erring on the side of caution.

Re: Charging problem on 48 V. CC
Thought I had the problem solved with a bad battery. I replaced that battery and it still does the same thing. Any new thoughts on what it could be? was thinking maybe the charger or the computer.
Thanks |
