So..I have a 2001 Club Car DS 48v cart. It seems to charge normally meaning the charger runs and shuts off when batteries are seemingly fully charged as I see that over the course of the charge the meter creeps toward 0. However, I will come back later and see that the charger has kicked back on. I guess my question is: Is this cycle of charger off and on “normal” behavior or should I be checking for a current draw or short somewhere?
Are you getting the normal hours of run time out of the cart? If so, the charger is doing ok. If run time has become shorter, suspect a bad battery or more and do appropriate charge-and-load cycles on your batteries. Note that batteries have to be disconnected from their 24- or 48- volt setup in the cart to test each one correctly.
