Charger Problem?

Twizted1 · 10-09-2016, 07:57 PM

When I got my cart last week I charged it with no problem. Charged in about 3 hours. I havent used it a lot. But decided to charge it today just to keep it ready to go go. But when I plugged in the charger it didnt kick on. So I waiting a few min. Nothing. Unpluged it from the cart and plunged it back in. Then it would start charging and stop & start up and and stop. Here is a video. Is the charger going bad or something else? I can't see how it could be plugged in wrong. Any ideas?

Something may have been causing the relay to drop out, then it picks back up again, but usually the charger must be disconnected from the cart, then reconnected in order for the relay to pick up again. The circuit board should kick the relay off at 44-46 volts at the sensing wires. Possibly loose or dirty connections somewhere, but really not sure. Almost acting like a circuit breaker opening and closing. Good that it is working again. - RAY

I have a few kind of dirty connections. I plan on cleaning them all and spraying them as soon as I get a chance. Thanks for the reply.
