Always put the the cart in Tow when working on it.

Just disconnect all cables in the pack negative for more than 10 minutes to reset the OBC.

The black wire with yellow bullet connector comes from the Controller B- and it is used to provide the negative for your 12v accessories.

Before attempting to reset the OBC, I watched the charge cycle. When I plugged it in, At 12amp it climbed up to 57v. Then I watched the PD maintain 56.6v at 7amps shutting off and kicking back on for a few cycles. When it kicked off, it dropped like a rock to 54.5v. It would do this multiple times, off- 54v, on- 56.7v. After quite a while, at a maintained 5amps it slowly climbed to 60.5v then oddly dropped down to 57.3v. I turned my back for a second when that happened and didnt hear the charger shut off. Charger still on at 5amps, onboard meter climbed to 58.1v before I had to walk away for a while. At 60v, I tested with handheld meter and confirmed 10v at each battery and 60v across the pack.

Ok, so I can just disconnect the last negative going to the controller to reset the OBC or all the negative cables from each battery?

Just disconnect the cable that goes from pack negative through the OBC to the Controller B-.

That should be the only cable on that battery post.

My cart sat for 2 weeks. I’m sitting @ 51 volts. And the little meter is not 100% accurate. Your voltage should be higher after 2 days. When charging I have seen has high as 64 volts during equalization mode. This is with the OBC and PDII charger.

Find below a State of Charge chart and a Trojan Charging Voltage chart for your reference. If your STATIC VOLTAGES or CHARGING VOLTAGES are well outside of these charts, then there could be a problem.

I'm pretty sure they were a few other responses that I can no longer see, weird.

I didn't reset the OBC yet, i wanted to see what the voltage was after a few days. So, after four days, I turned on the cart and the voltage read 49.9 V.

Little question on the Trojan charge voltage chart ThreeCW posted;

How long can the charger stay in the finish and equalization state of charge (64. before switching to the float charge (54) on a gen III DPI charger?
