Is your club car charger not working properly?

Basic Checks First

1. Power Source

   • Make sure the outlet has power (try plugging something else in).

   • Check the breaker/fuse box.

2. Connections

   • Inspect the charger plug, outlet, and cart charging port for any visible damage or corrosion.

   • Make sure the plug is fully seated in the cart.

⚠️ Charger Issues

3. Indicator Lights

   • Does the charger have any lights or display codes? What do they show (flashing, solid, color)?

   • Older chargers might click once when plugged in — if it doesn't, the issue could be internal.

4. Onboard Computer (OBC)

   • If your Club Car has an OBC (Onboard Computer) and it's malfunctioning, it may not allow the charger to activate.

   • Signs of a bad OBC: charger won’t turn on, or it shuts off too soon.

🔋 Battery Condition

5. Battery Voltage

   • If the battery pack voltage is too low, the charger might not detect it.

   • Use a multimeter to check pack voltage — it should be within about 36V (for 36V carts) or 48V (for 48V carts). If it’s much lower, you might need to pre-charge the batteries individually to get them up enough for the charger to kick in.

🛠️ Next Steps

• Do you know the model of your Club Car and charger type (e.g., PowerDrive, ERIC, Delta-Q)?

• Are there any sounds/lights when you plug in?

• Do you have a multimeter handy?
