Jump starting a CC electric cart

Right you are! Think of a charged battery as a tank of gasoline. You don't want to release all of that energy too fast! :-) Electric cars have had some very interesting battery fires when something penetrates the battery. Tesla has had several of these incidents where they ran over something metal that punctured the battery that is very low in the chassis.

I'll try the safe route. I realize the power stored in the packs.
Thanks for the info. I plan to try and bring them up tomorrow. I will post a follow up after.

Thanks for the suggestions. 12v charger brought the voltage up pretty quick. About 10min per as reported earlier. I was able to get the CC charger to start charging. Will give it several hours and check the batteries.
Thanks BGW!
