My 90+ year old neighbor has a golf cart that he has been trying to get going for the past 2 months. Now his granddaughters' husbands have gotten involved. I finally stuck my nose in there today.
The golf cart batteries (6 @ 8 volts) are about a year old. I think they have been drained dead. The charger that comes with it, will not kick in, until there is some sign of life in the batteries. The guys had placed a 12 volt charger set at 2 amps, hoping to get it up high enough to use the regular charger.
I don't think that will work. They asked me if I would take the 12 volt charger off in the morning and hopefully the cart's charger will take over. I agreed, but not sure anything will happen. I offered to take them into a Battery's Plus, but they think this will work.
Is it possible to get some type of charge into the 8 volt batteries' with a 6/12 charger?
Thanks
