battery charger help
 

i have an old e-z-go charger model #6701. the timer no longer works and i am trying to break in a new set of batteries. is this automatic and will shut of when it hits full charge? or do i need to watch it i dont want to overcharge them

Re: battery charger help
 

that should shut off when the timer is down to zero if it works right, try putting it on for just a bit and watch it see if it shuts off when done..............................8)

my problem is the timer doesnt work at all

oh ok, if the timer dosn,t work but the charger does than yes you,ll have to keep your eyes on it........10 hours should give you a full charge, and i think you can still buy the timers for it if you want.........i was just checking some parts from site sponsers and came across a charger and i almost crapped my pants when i saw the price..............................8)

thanks for the help it still works so i would like to continue using it if possible if the amp meter hits zero does that mean it fully charged? i want to break these new batteries in right without having to buy a new charger, the new batteries cost enough!!!!!!

tell me about it i just priced a set of 8 volt private name i won,t mention but 172.00 apeice..............when it gets down to zero it might stay there for awhile before it would shut off so thats a hard one to answer.........the 1st few charges with new batteries if it were mine and i was guessing i would leave charge for at least 12 to 14 hours 1st 3 charges than drop to 8 to 10 hours for the next 6 charges than to 8 hours per charge after that and when your sure they are broke in and you,ll know the cart will tell you.......i would charge at least 6 to 8 hours.............................8)

is a boiling sound normal then? i have another external timer that i will set for 12 hours i have had them on for about 4 hours and you can hear them is that ok

Re: battery charger help
 

yes thats normal as long as its not boiling all the water out..................8)

also keep an eye on your water level and add distilled water as needed....................8)
