Have a 2004 Club Car Precedent that I picked up as a project. Cart was 100% original. It does now have an Led light system on it with turn signals and brake lights. No other electronics.

I replaced the batteries and it came with a new Clipper charger that had been un-opened. It is a 4 12volt battery setup.

The OBC computer is by-passed by running the extra ground. Currently it seems to loose charge quickly and gets down to the 42 volt when under load. Upon charging the batteries for 12 hours I am getting 13.5+ volts on each battery in the main pack. The secondary pack on the passenger side I am only getting 11.23 and 11.25. The total voltage this morning was 50.9 volts. I am unsure if I need to be charging it longer due to the type of charger. It seems to charge at 55 volts.

I am new to golf carts and am unsure of where to start inspecting or replacing. I am mechanically inclined and own an automotive shop just need some direction.

Thank you in advanced for any information.
