Default Another charging issue

I've got a 2000 CC DS. Last night I plugged my charger in (about 5 PM). Coincidentally I was monitoring the AC current draw of my charger. (I am surveying my power usage to change my electric power usage rate plan.) The initial AC amp draw was about 9 amps and decreased linearly (more or less) to 2.8 amps by 11:30 pm.

This morning my sister needed to borrow it (about 7 am). The charger was still charging, drawing about 2.8 amps AC. (That's about 14 hours total charge time.) I unplugged it and she used the cart, but her golf round was cancelled and brought it right back a short time later.

So I plugged it back in to the charger to finish the charge at 6 pm this evening. The charger quickly decreased from drawing 8 amps to 2.6 amps within 30 minutes. It is now 11 pm and the charger draw is still 2.6 amps (the charger ammeter reads 5 amps DC). The battery pack reads 59 volts with a multi-meter.

It seems to me the batteries are fully charged, but the charger won't turn off. Opinions?

The Powerdrive charger can run up to 16 hours and get up to 60+ volts before shutting off. Leave it plugged in and monitor it.
If it does happen to stay on more than 16 hours, there is probably an issue somewhere. Either charger or OBC.
Let it go and let us know the results.

And to add to what Kash said, if these are not new batteries or very discharged batteries, try to reset the OBC and see if that helps. (Like rebooting a PC) Unplug the pack negative and put the FNR in reverse and depress the pedal a few times (if applicable) or if rocker switch style just just leave it unplugged for a half hour or so and then reconnect.

Also please note:
- That it does delay when you first pug it in 5-10 seconds or so before kicking on.
- That the drive system is disabled when charging (It will not engage and move)
