With new batteries in a golf cart, what is wrong when you plug in the battery charger, it clicks, but does not charge?

contact manufacturer, and seek there advice

THE BATTERIES ARE RUN IN SERIES THAT MEANS THAT THE WIRES GO POS. TO NEG. NEG. TO POS. STARTING IN THE BACK AND THEY RUN LIKE THIS TILL YOU GET TO THE OUTPUT FROM BATTERIES TO MOTORS THE CURRENT GOES IN ONE SIDE OF BATTERY AND OUT THE OTHER BY CONECTING ALL POSITIVES YOU MAY HAVE JUST KILLED THE BATTERIES

Tell me what cart you have and i can help. Not all carts get wired up the same way as this link demonstrates. In the pix pay close attention to how battery one gets hooked up as this sets the pattern

so many possibilities...

does it roll fairly freely? (checking to see if the brakes or rearend seized up)

Are there any "bad" sounds like things grinding? (Connection between Motor and rearend, axle splines...)

If all that is solid, it is likely in the controller.... (it takes a solid charge right... No bad batteries in there or loose connection? might want to check all the battery connections to make sure none are burnt...)

1997.. does it have the electonic speed control by that year? the other possibilty is that the accelerator is not working corectly. they used a resistor system on old ones that has contactors that would get worn out.... Newer ones control a potentiometer(sp) that controlled the speed.

Only a few real components to check, but if you are not mechanically and electically inclined, could be tough to isolate.

peace,

To charge... you need to remove the seat. Only 2 screws holding it in place. Underneath you will see the battery...you will notice wires from the battery connect to wires from the motor on the wheels...pull apart those 2 connectors and attach the charger...then plug it in to a wall socket and leave connected for a long period of time. I don't remember how long it takes for a full charge...but I'm thinking at least 12 hours. If the battery doesn't hold a charge you can typically get it at walmart or online. Best of luck.
