What voltage kicks the yellow light on the dash?

[fltekdiver]

Fully charged 2017 CP pack reads 53.8v , after a 15 mile round trip back to the house my pack reads 48.4v


What voltage will trip the yellow light on the dash, and can the cart make it safely home ?

48.4 is 50% charge or discharged how ever you want to read it. You should try not to run it below 80% charge if you can help it. All in all I would say that light is giving you fair warning to charge your batteries. Not sure what the book calls for on your cart. I guess you knew all this.

Thanks

The batteries were left with the top of the plates showing when I bought the cart.

We goto.the shopping mall which is about 7 miles each way

Default Re: Blinking Battery Light
Ok here we go:

BATTERY WARNING LIGHT
When the vehicle is in operation, the warning light is controlled by the onboard computer.
• Batteries’ voltage drops below 48 volts when there is no load on the batteries (the vehicle is stopped
and there are no accessories on).
• Batteries have discharged to less than 25% of rated capacity.

If the warning light illuminates when the vehicle is operating, there will be enough power remaining to drive the
vehicle for approximately 30 minutes. However, the vehicle should be charged at the first opportunity. If the
warning light illuminates and the vehicle is unable to operate for 30 minutes, have your Club Car distributor/
dealer check the vehicle for a possible battery or electrical system problem.

When the batteries receive an incomplete charge because:
1) the DC power cord is disconnected,
2) AC power to charger is interrupted,
3) automatic charger shut-off occurs after 16 hours of operation, or
4) charger malfunctions, the warning light will indicate as follows:

• The battery warning light will not illuminate if the charge is 90% or more complete. The onboard computer
will retain in memory the amount of charge needed to replenish the batteries and will complete
the charge during the next charge cycle.
• When the charger DC cord is unplugged during a charge cycle, the battery warning light will illuminate
and remain illuminated for 10 seconds if the charge is less than 90% complete but the vehicle has
enough power for 60 minutes of operation. This will alert the fleet operator that the vehicle may be
used, but that it must be charged to completion as soon as possible.
• The battery warning light will repeatedly illuminate for 10 seconds, at 4 second intervals, if the charger
times out at 16 hours and the batteries are not sufficiently charged. This indicates an abnormal charge
cycle. The charger and batteries should be checked by your Club Car distributor/dealer.
• The battery warning light will repeatedly illuminate for 10 seconds, at 4 second intervals, during a
charge cycle (with the DC plug still connected) if AC power to the charger is interrupted. The light will
go out when AC power is restored.
• When paired with version 3.0 or later onboard computers, the battery warning light will flash quickly,
after inserting the DC plug, indicating the charger’s voltage suppressor has failed closed.

Hey guys, what brand and year cart are we talking about here? Not familiar with a '17 CP(?) but I think all the information above is for an OBC which was applicable for years '95 to early '14 and then the ERIC systems took over....

The light serves two functions: 1) Battery low state-of-charge warning, and 2) Charging confirmation.

Battery Low State-of-Charge Warning
• The light comes on and remains solid when the battery state of charge falls below 20%.
• The light begins flashing when the battery state of charge falls below 10%.

Charging Confirmation
• The light will flash three times and the reverse buzzer simultaneously will sound three times to indicate a battery
charging session has begun.

mrgolf was giving you the correct information and was right on for an OBC cart and here is the information for an ERIC cart.

Thanks !

Never though about the year and different charging system.
