2015 RXV charging issue

[wingnut2000]

I have a 2015 RXV and last couple of times I rode it the digital gauge on the cart read some where around 85% when taking off the charger after it had been plugged up for at least a day. I also just used the link in the forum to do a battery post repair by drilling and tapping the main battery positive. I havent really been impressed with these trojan t875's since i bought them.



do the attached pics say anything about health of my batteries? they are trojans that are probably about 24 months old.

Well, I would suggest plugging in the charger to the wall outlet...

Did you set up the lester with the trojan specs?

i noticed that being 0 but I was in a hurry to get to work when i did this and there is a birds nest of wires where the charger is but its not supposed to be unplugged. May need to check that. lights do come on the charger if its plugged to the cart only?

The summit chargers will light up without AC power when plugged in the cart. Thats actually when you want to set them up thru the app with your battery type while its unplugged from AC.

Then of course they need some AC power to charge LOL

My Lester summit 2 has blue power light on whenever it is plugged in the wall outlet. Also the green charged light is on and stays on when charge is finished. If you leave it plugged into the wall and the cart, it will take care of the batteries and show what it is doing with the light show including if it goes into equalization mode which it will do based on its own logic. In my case this is the 1050W model so the 650W model may be different but I'm going to guess not much.

So, I just read the quote again and I have never had the occasion to have it plugged into the cart with the ac not connected. Don't actually know what the light show is in that case.

As far as setting up the connect app, the DC connection to the cart is required but my manual says nothing about requiring the AC connection to be disabled when doing so. .

I think I took the screen shot above before the Ac power registered but the cart is still showing 87%ish when i turn the cart on after charging overnight or after a couple nights.

why is ac power to the charger cut off ever?

If you plug it in to the cart after a ride does the charge actually finish indicated by a blue light (power) and a steady green light (charge complete). That light show should stay the same until you unplug from the cart or the charger might start an equalization cycle (flashing green) on its own and independent of anything you do. When it finishes that it will revert to the steady blue and green light.

Is it possible the AC plug you are using is switched? (Like in the movie Christmas Vacation)
