golf cart not charging
I have a six passenger Zone Nev with 8, six volt US batteries and an Elcon 1500 charger. Yesterday when i went to plug it in after driving a bit. the charger light was blinking red-green-red-green-off etc. On top of the charger is some text that says that this light pattern indicates that the batteries are disconnected. They are not disconnected to the best of my knowledge. I disconnected the first positive lead and the charger lead in the series an plugged in the charge just to prove that it was doing the same think. It the same thing. So I reconnected it and it made no difference. I searched all over and cannot find anything. hope fully some one can help.

Re: golf cart not charging
It could just be that the charger died. I haven't heard great things about that brand - we've seen several Elcon and Delta-Q chargers just stop working for no obvious reason at all. Make sure there aren't any breaks in the charger wire or any corrosion on the battery terminals.

Re: golf cart not charging
I found out that it is actually not a issue with the charger itself but rather the battery heat sensor had gone bad and it was not allowing the charger to engage. I disconnected the wire and now it works fine there is just no heat sensor and no external led charge indicator I have to look under the seat at the actual charger to check the charge status. Do you know where I could get one of these wires,? it is a combo for the led indicator and the heat sensor.

Give Jeff a call tomorrow at 352-376-6275. If he doesn't have one in stock, he should be able to order one for you. Let him know Justin referred you.

Re: golf cart not charging
OK, I've made some calls and it seems like this is a part you may have to buy directly from Elcon. Here's the user manual for the charger: http://www.justdriveelectric.com/PFC...ger_Manual.pdf
And the phone number for Elcon is 916-441-4161 Hope that helps! |
