Picked up a 96 DS from a friend who didn't want it anymore, says it won't take a charge and doesn't want to mess with it so it is now in my possession. Cart has a power drive 17930 charger and 6 6 volt batteries. Serial number says it's a 36v DS I think, he said he used the charger for years just would plug it in for awhile and than unplug it. Well one night he forgot to unplug it and ever since then the problems have surfaced.
I know the batteries are cooked (plus they are stickered 06) and I planned on going to a 48v system anyways but how do I know what exactly I'm starting with so I know what to get for the conversion? I'm going to go with the 6 - 8V for the replacement batteries but after that I'm not sure. Is there something I can look for to indicate that it actually is a 48v system that he just had running on 36v? Or it is 36v cart and he just had a 48v charger? Does it matter?
Here is a picture of the battery setup.
Thank for all for any help,
Chris
