Re: Battery question again

I am learning a lot and appreciate all the input. Now I should also say I am using the original PowerDrive charger that came with the cart. Worked fine for Trojans and US batteries. I now have Crown batteries I bought earlier this year. I was getting 50.9v after a couple months into charging my new pack after rest and this is the first time this year on my last charge that I didn't. It was only at 50v after rest. Only logical thing that changed was the outside temperature. Maybe the PowerDrive charger algorithm doesn't like the Crowns. I just don't know. Am I my time resetting the OSB? |

Re: Battery question again
I think You should reset your OBC periodically, once or twice a year, to allow the OBC to create a new baseline for your battery current condition.

I don't drive it during winter months here and only keep it charged. Will resetting the OBC and not driving it and only plug the charger in after defeat the purpose? |

i've lived within minutes of alberta ca and all over the mountain states. when i moved to metro motown, i embraced the winters including skiing and snowmobiling. that was 25 years ago and technically i still live within minutes of canada, but winters in michigan suck anymore. als has taken any fun out of being cold and walking on ice. there is a reason we need one million cold cranking amps up here to start our 4x4 vehicles still i try to enjoy snow in my own way https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a8uLTjj1qNQ |

Re: Battery question again
Is it possible that my Crown batteries would cause this issue between the cold and charging algorithm since I didn't have an issue in warmer weather?

Re: Battery question again
Resetting the OBC only has the potential to help without any negative impact.
If You are not driving the cart make sure the Tow/Run switch is on Tow and if you have a voltage converter remove the fuse on the +48v side so it is not connected to the pack. |

Re: Battery question again
Yep, I figure it's worth a shot. Cart does always stay in tow mode while stored. Also, I do not have a convertor installed.
