Club Car 48V charging question

[jmitch9]

I am in Smyrna, GA. I have a 1998 Fairway model that I recently acquired. It has been in storage for a long timed and needs a few things to get it going.

Sorry about the title, I accidentally posted tech question here.

Thanks!

My battery indicator lights is blinking 10-4 after installing new Batteries and cables. It continues to blink when charger is connected. After 24 hrs the voltage is a 49.6. The charger cycles when plugged in then goes to zero.

The cart was stored over 10 years without batteries.

Any suggestions as to what might be causing the issue? I am thinking OBC at this point.

One common problem is that the small 10ga red wire from the charger receptacle gets left off. On the pos battery connection there should be 2 red wires one large red and the small 10ga red. Or you could have wired a battery in backwards.

The "The charger cycles when plugged in then goes to zero" can be a symptom of the OBC not able to read the charging current.

That can happen if you altered the negative cable connection that must go through the OBC.

Sergio, you are correct, i messed up the obc/negative cable contact
