Re: Charging System Troubleshooting
Thank you Don. I'd post a chart of common OBC part numbers, but they change every time a new version comes out so I suggest just asking me.

Re: Charging System Troubleshooting
I replaced my batteries and want to know if I should of reset my OBC after putting the new ones in. With the old batteries the charger would stay on till it timed out and I feel like it is still staying on for a long time with the brand new Trojan 8v batteries in. It ran for 14 hours last night charging and was still on when I unplugged it to use it. It is running at lower amps than with the old ones.

Re: Charging System Troubleshooting
What year of cart do you have? Having the batteries disconnected for more than 10 mins will reset the OBC most times...

Re: Charging System Troubleshooting
Jake is correct about the OBC resetting itself after it's been without power for a while. When you plug the DC Cord into the cart is there a delay before the charger turns on? There should be. If ever there isn't a delay, replace the OBC. Often, when OBCs fail, they get stuck in "ON" mode and the charger turns on immediately when it makes a connection. When this happens, the charger will never turn off.

Re: Charging System Troubleshooting
Ok, not sure about the delay or not. I did not pay attention to that. The cart is a 1998 Club car ds. I put new batteries and an OBC in it about 3 years ago. Since then I did some off roading and took where I shouldn't of. Because of that I have installed a new motor, 500amp controller, heavy duty F/R switch, solenoid, and cables. It is possible the water taken on while playing submarine may have affected my OBC. This might be the cause of toasting my old batteries.

Re: Charging System Troubleshooting
The first few charging cycles after a successful OBC reset will take longer than normal as the OBC is using a different algorithm in order to establish a baseline for the pack condition.
It is important that You have a single cable on your pack negative and that goes thru the OBC. Any other negative connections (converters, etc...) need to be on the other side of the OBC (controller B- side). |
Re: Charging System Troubleshooting
Ok, I have only charged it twice since I put the new batteries in. I have a 6awg wire running through the OBC and a 4awg wire running around it becuase it would not fit through it.

You need to build a 3-1/2" x 5/16 threaded stud and use 2 cables, one for each side of the OBC. http://www.buggiesgonewild.com/attac...g-obc-stud.jpg |
