2006 Cart not charging question
I just bought a used 2006 DS Cart (48v) with a Powerdrive 3 charger included. Batteries on it are 2-4 months old (from date stamped on terminals). It had 51.3vdc across them when I bought the cart. When I got the cart home, I hooked up the charger to it, and charger did nothing. It's been a few days of driving and my voltage is 50.9vdc. Hooked up the charger, and still nothing. QUESTION: Does the battery have to be down to a certain voltage before the charger kicks in? The charger is good because I took it to a shop and I saw it work on one of their carts. Thanks.

Re: 2006 Cart not charging question
Maybe too obvious, but did you plug in the Charger's A/C cord before the DC plug in the cart? I have an 84' DS 36v toaster cart and just got a 2002 DSIQ. My usual practice of plugging in the 84's crowfoot D/C plug and then plugging in the old school 36V Lester charger and turning on the timer. When I tried plugging in 02' cart's DC and then plugging in the Powerdrive's A/C, I heard a faint hum but there was no charging taking place. When I reversed the order, I discovered that the charger won't start charging if you plug in the cart's D/C connection before having the charger plugged in. After that happened, I downloaded the charger's manual read that that is just the way it works. I guess it makes sense where a fleet would leave the chargers plugged in all the time and just plug the cart's D/C when the carts were put to bed at the end of the day.

Re: 2006 Cart not charging question
Once you tried what the others suggest, if you still have an issue, check the yellow bullet fuse holder that comes off the back of the charging receptacle and goes into the OBC harness. There is a 3/8 amp fuse that is for your sense wire and must work for the OBC to trigger the charger. Also check the main receptacle fuse that is inside the back of that same receptacle. (I use a continuity meter on it or you can remove it and do it)
If there are no problems there, it is time to bypass the OBC in case it has failed. |

Check to make sure the red charge wire from the receptacle on the cart is connected to the pack positive #6 battery post that has the main cable going to the solenoid.

Hunter450, I checked the RED wire from charge receptacle and it does go to the POS terminal which connects to solenoid. |

Double check how you bypassed the OBC: You bypass the OBC by running a 10g jumper from the back side of the charge receptacle (where the black 10g wire is that goes into the harness) and run it directly to the Main Pack Negative. Also take the grey sense wire coming off the same receptacle and land it to the same place. This will allow the charger to turn on "if" the OBC has failed. Note- This is only to test and not to make normal operation. |
