The first step is making sure you performed the charging process correctly. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Did you hook everything up correctly?<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Is the cart and charger are both in charging mode? <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Is the outlet that the charger is plugged into working?&nbsp; <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If all of these conditions are met, then the next easiest step is hooking up the charger to a different golf cart. I know this is easier said than done. Most people don&#8217;t have a second golf cart lying around.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If it <a href=\"https:\/\/golfcartgo.com\/safe-to-charge-golf-cart-in-garage\/\">charges the other golf cart<\/a>, then obviously it isn\u2019t your charger, but it might not be a huge problem either. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Some golf cart <a href=\"https:\/\/golfcartgo.com\/extension-cord-to-charge-golf-cart\/\">battery chargers won\u2019t charge<\/a> a golf cart if it has fallen below a certain voltage. <\/strong> <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Check your golf cart\u2019s voltage and see if it is within the detection range of your charger. Get a voltmeter and read across your battery pack. It should read a couple voltages above the total pack. For instance, if you have a 48 volt battery pack, then the voltmeter should read 51ish across the whole pack, if it&#8217;s fully charged. This is also part of the <a href=\"https:\/\/golfcartgo.com\/golf-cart-maintenance-tips\/\">maintenance you want to do on your golf cart<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/golfcartgo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/voltmeter-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"how to test a golf cart battery charger\" class=\"wp-image-233\" srcset=\"https:\/\/golfcartgo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/voltmeter-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/golfcartgo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/voltmeter-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/golfcartgo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/voltmeter.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another common issue is worn out batteries. Batteries only have a lifespan of about 5-6 years at most, and usually fail sooner than that under heavy use or extreme weathers. Lastly, check all of the cables and connections on your golf cart. If your golf cart isn\u2019t grounding properly or has a bad cable, your golf cart battery charger may not be able to work with it. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Of course, if it fails to charge the other cart, then it is most likely something on the charger side. Fear not, however. The solution may be simple, and is most likely something inexpensive and easy to replace. Before you trash your whole golf cart battery charger, make sure you can\u2019t fix this one. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It might not be the whole golf cart battery charger<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now that you have confirmed it is your charger, it\u2019s time to see what you can do to get your golf cart battery charger back in order. It could be a simple replacement part, or a loose wire somewhere. Before we dig into it however, let\u2019s talk about something incredibly important.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>Electricity can be very dangerous. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For your safety, make sure you know what you\u2019re doing. If handled properly, it is very easy to avoid being electrocuted, but carelessness can lead to injury, or possibly death. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A good rule is to only have the power on when you are testing it, and to completely unplug the golf cart battery charger when you\u2019re disconnecting things or digging into any circuitry. It may take a little extra time to do those things, but your safety should be your number one concern.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Check the Timing Mechanism<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first thing to check is the timing mechanism. Your golf cart battery charger will either have a manual, mechanical timer, or an automatic electric timer. If it is a manual timer, it\u2019s pretty easy to test. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Turn the timer on and check for power coming from the timer. If you are getting power, then your timer is working fine. With an electrical timer, you just have to trick into turning on. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The other possible problem is that your timer has failed and is leaving your charger always on. To check for this, have the timer turned off and check for power. If you\u2019re still receiving power, replace your timer.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Check Charging Cable<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If the timer is working properly, the next easiest to check, and by far the easiest to repair, is the charging cable. This usually happens when the connection to the plug or clamp has worn out. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can check this by testing for power at the cable end, and if there is no power, check for power where it connects to the golf cart battery charger. If there is power at the charger, but not at the end of the cable, then it\u2019s as simple as replacing your cable. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another easy way to test a cable, if you have an ohmmeter, is to check for continuity in the cable. This is done by measuring the resistance in the cable, which should be slightly above zero. If your ohmmeter reads zero or infinity, then the cable is broken and should be replaced.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Check Fuses and Diodes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you don\u2019t have power at the cable connection, then don\u2019t worry too much yet. Hopefully, it\u2019s just a fuse. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These are pretty easy to find, and once you locate it, simply remove it and look for burnout. If you can\u2019t see burnout, then check it for continuity on your ohmmeter again. If the fuse is broken, then you need to check a couple things before replacing it, if not, reinstall it. Sometimes this will fix the issue by draining capacitors and sort of of restarting the machine.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your fuse is blown, then it is very possible that one or both of your diodes has gone bad. Check them both for continuity both ways. A diode is like a gate, so you should have continuity one way, but not the other. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To check for continuity, completely remove the diode from the machine and use your ohmmeter to check for resistance in the same way you checked the cable, then switch the direction you\u2019re testing in. If both are continuous or neither are, then you have a bad diode. You may have to replace both if one is failed. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you\u2019ve checked and possibly replaced your diode, replace your fuse (if blown) and check to see if your golf cart battery charger is working now. If it isn\u2019t, then start the isolation process over, there may have been more than one fault. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Check Transformer<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you have checked everything and all seems fine, but you\u2019re <a href=\"https:\/\/golfcartgo.com\/how-long-does-it-take-to-charge-a-48-volt-golf-cart\/\">golf cart battery charger still won\u2019t charge<\/a> your batteries, then the last thing to check is the transformer. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The transformer should be humming if it is operating, so if it isn\u2019t humming, it\u2019s either not receiving power or broken. Check it\u2019s connections to the circuit board, and if all seems well, then the only real way to test it is to replace it with a known good transformer. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unfortunately, this is crazy expensive and requires some very special soldering or replacement of an entire circuit board. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You may need to take the golf cart battery charger to a shop if you suspect the transformer is the issue. Also, this repair may be very costly and it might be in your best interest to consider a new <a href=\"https:\/\/golfcartgo.com\/charge-a-golf-cart-battery\/\">golf cart battery charger<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube\"><div class=\"lyte-wrapper fourthree\" style=\"width:420px;max-width:100%;margin:5px auto;\"><div class=\"lyMe\" id=\"WYL_u9K6sTyMRAI\"><div id=\"lyte_u9K6sTyMRAI\" data-src=\"\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/u9K6sTyMRAI\/hqdefault.jpg\" class=\"pL\"><div class=\"tC\"><div class=\"tT\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"play\"><\/div><div class=\"ctrl\"><div class=\"Lctrl\"><\/div><div class=\"Rctrl\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><noscript><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/u9K6sTyMRAI\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/u9K6sTyMRAI\/0.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"420\" height=\"295\" \/><br \/>Watch this video on YouTube<\/a><\/noscript><\/div><\/div><div class=\"lL\" style=\"max-width:100%;width:420px;margin:5px auto;\"><\/div><figcaption><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Plug it in and hope it works now<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you have confirmed, isolated, and repaired the issue, check to make sure your golf cart battery charger is working properly.

If not, go through the diagnosis process over again to find the new issue. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The worst case scenario is that a circuit board has fried or that whatever repair is needed is more expensive than a new golf cart battery charger. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s a golf cart owners nightmare.
