You can usually repair anything if you know what is wrong with the item and can get spare parts. With a battery charger you basically have a transformer, some big capacitors and a charging control circuit. Unfortunately the typical handy person may not have the test tools available to do the diagnostic. Possible problems and troubleshooting techniques:

1. See if there is a small reset button somewhere. Look for a small hole in the case and word RESET.

2. See if there is a small glass fuse inside the case on a printed circuit board or behind a push and twist black protrusion near where the input power cord enters the unit. There should be an intact wire in middle of fuse. If burnt replace fuse with same rating shown on the case.

3. If you have a voltmeter and know how to use it open the case and measure primary voltage which should be about 120 V. If not you have a bad wire or ON/OFF switch if you have fixed all fuses and resets.

4. Measure the voltage on the output side of the transformer. It should be about the voltage of the battery being charged. If no voltage or low voltage you have a bad transformer. If Voltage is correct then you have a bad capacitor or PC board.

Do electric golf carts require 110 volt or 220 volt outlet?

Electric golf carts operate from a DC voltage supply which is supplied by batteries. These batteries have to be charged on a regular basis. The voltage the battery charger operates on is governed by the manufacturer of the battery charger. Check the nameplate on the charger to see what voltage AC is required. Usually the chargers operate on 110 volts, but in some high capacity chargers they will operate on 220 volts. The nameplate will tell you what voltage is needed to operate the charger. That depends on the charger being used. Either is available.

How do you wire 12 volt to phone charger to 36 volt golf cart?

If your golf cart is 36 volts it is probably three 12 volt batteries in series. To pick off 12 volts from the carts power source using one of the 12 volt batteries. Make sure the polarity is correct to the phone charger. If the charging unit is like the ones used in vehicles the center pin is the positive point.


How do you charge golf cart batteries with 12 volt charger and how do you hook it up to the batteries still in the golf cart?

Not being sure of your golf cart voltage, I will give it a try. Count the caps on on batteries, each cap is two volts, so if you have three caps per battery, you have a 6 volt battery. Now count the batteries and multiply by battery voltage, 6 batteries times 6 volts equals a 36 volt system, and so on. You may only charge 12 at time with your charger, so you will have to remove a few battery to battery cables. The cables start with a positive post go to the main system of the cart, with it's neg post connected to the pos. post of the next battery in line, a so on until the last battery in line neg. post goes to the main system of the cart, making a full circle. You must separate the batteries in to 12 volt groups with the main system cables discounted from the main system to prevent damage to it. Remove the neg. cable first, and install it last, safety thing. Need more help contact me through my board and I will try to help.

What do golf carts run on and is it expensive?

Deep-cycle batteries are what power golf carts. However just one battery would not be enough, so they use battery packs instead. It's not expensive since you can just recharge after every use.
