Re: 36v vglide series charge for days
1. Test the specific gravity in all battery cells . . only need one bad one . .
2. OBC may be faulty. 3. Do you have access to another cart to try your charger on? 4. Do you have access to another charger to try on your cart? |

Re: 36v vglide series charge for days
What is the highest voltage you read while on charge? The charger cut off is between 44-46v. If the pack is not reaching this voltage there may be a battery problem.

Re: 36v vglide series charge for days
37.5V is only 80% charged. I'd check all your individual battery voltages. Like " scottyb " said, you may have a bad battery. Let us know what the individual battery voltages are before you charge the cart.
