Buggies Gone Wild Golf Cart Forum - View Single Post - New batteries, charger shuts off.. after 16 hours!

cartmanspeedzone · 05-14-2019, 07:42 AM

I inherited a late model 1995 Club Car, 48 volt. Batteries were old so I replaced them. After much reading on this forum and manuals, I charged the batteries fully the first night, and I've been charging the batteries every night after every drive. Usually the next morning I'd find the charger off, batteries fully charged. The other morning I noticed that, after 9+ hours the charger was still running. Now I suspect that the charger was running the full 16 hours. The charger meter shows around 5-6 amps and two batteries measure 8.52, two measure 8.49, and the 2 measure 8.54, so 51.1 (end to end 51.3).
Any ideas would be appreciated. For now I am limiting the charges to around 5 hours, which is maintaining the above volt numbers.
