2000 DS charger doesn't shut off
Batteries are 2 yr old Trojan. Load test very good. Pack voltage 54

Re: 2000 DS charger doesn't shut off
Unplug the pack negative for 15-20 mins and let the OBC fully deplete. Reattach the cable and then plug the charger back in. Allow it to fully run a charge cycle which can be 16 hours (at that time it will time out) and the voltage can and will be ~63v's to even as high as ~65v's at the end. This will be very low amps (5 or less) so do not get concerned.
A couple of things you can do or watch for with a "normal" OBC: - Cart will not engage and move why plugged in - No back-up alarm - Charger will take 5 - 10 seconds to come on after plugging in - Charger will shut off and then come back on towards the beginning to sense (this may not happen with a reset OBC) |

Re: 2000 DS charger doesn't shut off
No sir, the OBC controls that. Appears the OBC has failed.

Re: 2000 DS charger doesn't shut off
If the problem started after the Solenoid was replaced I would double check the customer did not put any wires on the Big Post on the Controller Side of the Solenoid as that would cause issues with the OBC.
