Golf Cart batteries for electric cars are rated in minutes, voltage, and amps. They are tested with a discharge machine and hydrometer. You can use your meter on the charger to kind of guess: If the charger (on a 36 volt system) comes on and the needle goes to 18-20 - that's good. After a few (3-5) minutes it should start to slowly drop back down to 15-16 amps - that's still good. After about 10-15 minutes it should be below 10 amps - still good. After 30 minutes it should be at 2 amps - and that is a good set! If the charger comes on and only goes to 16 amps or less that is not good. If the charger comes on and goes to 18-20 amps and stays there for an hour that's not too good. If the amps drop back to 2 amps within an hour that's better. If the charger stays at 18-20 amps for two hours then that's is normally bad. If the charger stays at 16-20 amps for more then 3 hours then you got some junk batteries. Golf Cart batteries for a gas car are rated in cold cranking amps, and volts. They are tested just like a car battery.

What does obc stand for on a club car golf cart?

It stands for On-Board Computer, it is used, I read anyway, to tell when to shut the charger off, but that's debateable. It is the little box on the drivers side that is mounted to the chassis that your lead battery cable on the drivers side goes thru on it's way towards the back of the cart. That cable goes thru the middle of the OBC to a sensor in there.
