Charging problem
I have a problem charging my Star Car. After a overnight charge the garage reeks of sulfur. The charger seems to boil the fluid in the batteries and every two days or so the batteries require a lot of water to cover the plates. Is the problem in the charger?

Star Battery Charging
You most likely have a DeltaQ charger and it sounds like your algorithm settings could be set incorrectly set for your batteries.
How old and when did you replace your batteries? If you replace your batteries and do not check the charger setting for a different brand of batteries you could be charging in the wrong range for your batteries. Bottom line is that all or most of your batteries are charging too long before the charger shuts down automatically causing the sulfur smell. "SOM TING WONG" |

Charger
If you had a bad battery or two in the group the others would cook while the bad ones are trying to catch up. The system needs to be discharged and and then each battery checked separately with the proper equipment. Don't condemn the charger yet.

Brakes on Star
Most likely the mechanical self adjuster has caused the over adjustment of the
Brakes and not the regen. We have been successful replacing the backing plate and adjuster assembly to repair this problem. |

Is this a costly repair to have done? Thank, Mike

New problem?
OK, New batteries, new charger, backed of the left brake that was over adjusting, now all that done and on a full 48 volt charge this stupit cart still zaps all power on a 10 minute drive. I live 3 minutes from the golf cart bridge and with a full 12 hour 48 volt charge the cart barely makes it over the bridge and then I turn around and try to get back home and have to push the stupit thing up the bridge. Not easy to do after 2 spinal surgeries.
So now I have $1000 into an 2007 golf cart and still cannot use it. At my wits end with this thing, if it was legal I would burn it.
