charging outside of the club car?
I have just purchased a club car 2001 48 volt system, I have it stored at a cottage and felt I should take out the batteries and store at home and give them an occasional charge without thinking if find they are 8 volt and there are six the connector for the charger says power drive 2 club car three prong connector. 1 plug says positive the other is negative and the third is nothing. Can anyone supply a diagram for hooking up the batteries to this charger. are the batteries in series or two banks of series etc. Thanks in advance I should have take more pictures before I took out the batteries.
Re: charging outside of the club car?
If I'm not mistaken your Club Car OBC controls the charger. Without it, the charger will not engage.
I'm hoping your wrong lol cause the batteries are 2 hours away and at least a foot of snow around the cart which is covered up hmmmm will the batteries still be okay in the spring if I keep them in the house on wood planks?
The OBC is what controls the charger. Storing the batteries on wood is a mith, they will not discharge on concrete or any other surface. However, if there is corrosion and other "crap" on top of the batteries it will cause them to drain no matter where you put them.....they will not drain by simply placing them on the ground or concrete.
