Lestronic Charger won't turn off--- even when unplugged from wall
I am dealing with a very strange (and frustrating) situation.
I have a 2000 Western golf cart. I use a lesteronic charger for it. My cart was under half a charge and attempted to charge it. I plugged in the charger and after coming to look at the cart the next morning, saw that it was still charging. I found this odd because the cart should have have charged within that time. Things got even stranger when I unplugged the power cable from the wall outlet. The charger continued to try to charge the cart even though the power cable has been removed. I am very concerned about this and would appreciate any insight that people have. Thanks and Merry Christmas. |

Re: Lestronic Charger won't turn off--- even when unplugged from wall
Some chargers have a relay that needs to see voltage from the cart batts to engage it , then it starts charging.
Contacts may have welded together on this relay. I'm 99.999999% sure it's not charging the batts if is is unplugged. Maybe some help here: Page 2 bottom right para: http://www.lesterelectrical.com/serv...otingguide.pdf |

Because it is so strange that the charger would be on and appear to be charging when the power cord is not on, I was hoping that someone might be able to discern the problem from that. |

Possibly a defective ammeter stuck at an amperage above 0.
