Another charger issue Powerdrive 2
So I plug the charger into the cart tonight and nothing. Cables are all good. Batteries are showing 49.2 volts but they haven't been charged in a couple weeks. Not been driven either. No "click" when I plug the charger in. I am guessing the relay but cant figure out how it would go bad in between charges. 2008.5 precedent 48v Powerdrive 2 charger, second charger in 18months. The original powerdrive 3 just stopped working one day also. Also it feels like there is no resistance in the reset button. It just feels loose and has always been like that

Re: Another charger issue Powerdrive 2
1. Try spraying some WD40 into cart's receptacle.
2. Poor connection at 10-gauge black wire or 18-gauge gray wire at the OBC. 3. Try driving cart a few feet, then plug in charger. 4. Try the OBC bypass procedure in the charger to rule out OBC failure. 5. Verify power at house outlet. |

1. WD-40 did not work 2. Double checked power from garage outlet, good 3.Checked connections on back of OBC, good 4.Went forward and back a few feet, still nothing. 5. Did OBC bypass, but did I do it correctly? I ran the black wire from the charging part to the negative terminal of the battery that has the wire that runs through the OBC. I took that wire off and replaced it with the wire from directly behind the receptacle. |

Re: Another charger issue Powerdrive 2
You didn't trigger the relay by tapping ground to the tip of the control lead fuse
