If your cart's batteries aren’t hooked up in the correct way, or there's a weak connection between them, it can lead to a loss of power and cause your charger to fail. Usually, the 12-volt charger will come with more output power than the 8v battery itself. This is not the best way to recharge 8-volt batteries Tip 2: if you have 3 batteries to charge, take 2 12 volt battery chargers and hook the batteries up in a series. Yes, you can use a 12-volt charger to charge an 8-volt battery. This is often overlooked and is quite common. Tip 1: If you use a 12-volt charger for one battery, make sure to keep your eye on both. What if Your Cart Won't Turn On? Check Your Connections If you charge them one at a time, while there is a load on the bank, they may become out of sync, some charged, some less. First, you want the batteries to have the same charge since they are in series. I can think of two potential problems with charging the batteries in circuit. We’ll show you a charger that can avoid this problem in the future. The common solution, unfortunately, is to use a 48V charger. If your cart does not have enough power to drive forward, it probably does not have enough voltage to activate a charger, either. This can be a common issue if your charger doesn’t have storage mode or trickle charging, if the kids or grandkids (or sometimes adult kids) forget to plug it in when their done, if the batteries are left uncharged during an off season, or if your cart sneaks out at night with your great dane to solve mysteries. If your golf cart uses a standard 12 volt flooded lead acid battery, then it is quite normal to hear a bubbling sound when it’s charging.
