Re: Manual charging time with bypassed obc??
Quote:
I have new batteries and have read that new batteries can take up to 12 hours to charge before the charger shuts off. But since I still don’t know if I have a bad obc should I try to leave it charging until the charger shuts off?? |

Re: Manual charging time with bypassed obc??
Have your batteries ever got so low on water that you could see the plates? When you say new batteries how new are they.

To check your OBC properly, you have to drive it (even just 20 feet) before parking and plugging in again. THAT is when the charger will do it's normal start/stop/start delay. |

Re: Manual charging time with bypassed obc??
Has anyone ever ask if you got the main battery negative cable running through the hole in the OBC?

Let me add something else for you. The OBC will charge up to sixteen (16) hours before timing out, not twelve (12) hours.... New batteries can need as much as 20-24 hours their first charge and will get faster on charge and longer on amp hour as they break in and build strength. |

Re: Manual charging time with bypassed obc??
Thanks to everyone on here for the help.
This past weekend I took my cart out hunting, and was able to put a few miles on it. It hadn't been on the charger for a few days so yesterday evening I plugged it in and forgot about it till this am. When I went to check on it, the charger had shut off and was showing 0 amps. Each battery was showing right at 8.5v with the whole pack showing just over 50v. I believe this means fully charged, and since it shut off I assume my charger and OBC are functioning correctly. But yesterday when I plugged it in there still was not a delay before it began charging. and this morning, I unplugged the cart, pulled it forward about 2 feet and plugged it back in and again no delay before the charger kicked back on. So idk about the 5 second delay before the charger starts working. Oh well, it works for now. Thanks guys. |
