Re: 93 ez go charger tripping off
Welcome to BGW!
What charger do you have? Picture of faceplate if you can't figure out the manufacture and model. By "Tripping off" do you mean the charger is shutting off, or do you mean it is tripping a circuit breaker? 6.2V is only about 70% charged, here's a State of Charge chart. Note: Voltages listed are taken 12 Hours after charger shuts off. If the charger's circuit breaker is tripping, you might have a bad diode in charger. Good news is that you probably have one of the old chargers that weighed about 20-30 pounds and are easy to fix. Tell us what you've got and we'll go from there. |

Re: 93 ez go charger tripping off
Thanks for the reply.Charger is total charge 3 model number 26984.I carried it to the golf cart shop and they charged to carts with it and it didnt trip out or cut off.When i say trip I mean it runs for around 5 minutes then it clicks and shuts off.You wait about 5 minutes and press red reset button and it comes back on for a few more minutes.I did find that the m- wire from f/r lever was hot yesterday after driving it a few minutes.Thanks for any help.

Re: 93 ez go charger tripping off
Anytime Ive had a charger trip like that it was from ether miswiring or a battery with a dead short. Matter of fact the last time it happened all the batteries checked fine with a volt meter...I kept trying to charge, then one of the batteries exploded, replaced the battery and all was good. If you have a load tester to check them that might be a good thing.

Re: 93 ez go charger tripping off
If it works okay on other carts, but trips the 50A breaker on charger when you try to charge your cart, logic says the problem is in your cart, but golf carts and logic don't always agree.
Like Bowslayer said, it could be the breaker is worn out. Here's the manual for a TC III. What does the Ammeter read before the breaker pops? If less than 50A, I'd replace the breaker, but I'd also check the diodes while I had it open. |
