Another possible RXV charger issue?
I think my Ezgo powerwise QE charger is taking a dump. Saturday morning I found a fault code of 3 red flashing lights after charging overnight from a round of golf Friday. Also the battery cables were warm to the touch. Checked the voltage, it was 50.4. Played another round of golf Saturday without any issues. Sunday morning I plugged it in again and everything seemed fine with only the green flashing charge light on. Concerned that the charger wasn't working properly I checked it few hours and it seemed to be working but the batteries seemed to be boiling a lot more then normal. Disconnected it overnight just in case. Monday morning I checked voltage 50.6 and had to add a lot of water to all of the batteries it has been less then a week since I filled them. I am concerned that the charger is not shutting off or floating when charged. Should I be looking for a new charger?

THREE RED FLASHES - Battery Charge Timeout: Charge time 12 hours exceeded. This may indicate a problem with the battery pack (old battery pack) or that the charger output current was severely reduced due to high ambient temperatures. At 50.4v that's only 90% charged. I would be getting voltage readings before, during, and after charging. Then wait 12 hours and get your final reading. Just how old are your batteries? |

Charger should charge to about 60-66 volts before shutting off.

Well that sounds right. Put your dvm on the battery pack and take a ride. Keep an eye on your meter and see how much the pack drops under load.

Re: Another possible RXV charger issue?
Finished running around the hills on the golf course. The reads were 50.9 sitting, 48.3 average on level ground, climbing a long hill it would drop to 45.6 and slowly climb back to 47, going down hill the highest reading was 55.4.
I guess everything is checking out. |
