Default Charger Circuit breaker keeps popping
I have a 2002 Club Car DS with Ranger Batteries. I plugged it in last night and it was not charged this morning.

I brought it back in and plugged it in again and the charger came one, shut off and came on again like it is supposed to do. I went out to the garage about 15 minutes later and the charger was off. I played around with it a bit and it came back on. It was charging for six hours and was still pulling 11 amps. I checked the cells with a hydrometer and they are not even close to charged. I borrowed a charger from a friend and plugged it in. It also booted up and was charging just fine. When I went o check on it an hour later it was off, but the batteries were not charged. I noticed that the circuit breaker had tripped.

What could be causing this?
