charger reads, check batteries, and limit use with new batteries!

[SR22]

Hello

My charger keeps lighting up with, check batteries and limit use even though I just put a new set of batteries in. It did the same thing before with the old crusty batteries, which I can understand, but not with new ones. Would it be the charger or is the car wired incorrectly? It's a 1991 DS with a lester model 14000 charger. Any way someone could point me in the right direction?

Thanks

Steve

A 91 is pre OBC ..... so IF the batteries are wired correctly and the charger receptacle connections are good ..... that leaves the charger to suspect... can you try the charger on a known good cart? or borrow a good charger and try it on your cart? That will point out one or the other.

Yea that's a good idea to try another charger I think I know someone with one. I am in the middle of checking the wiring... Very closely!! I use this for my new job and am learning as I go along. If it was the charger would it need replacement or repair?

Thank you for your time. Great forum!!

I guess that depends upon whats wrong with it? Some get fixed ~ Some get replaced. Depends upon the costs of repairs.... You can cross that bridge when you get to it.

I took the charger apart and found that the electronic timer board has some burned spots on it. Not good. May be the problem.

Is it a lester? What model #? Can you post some pics of the burnt spots and the board.
