bought a new golf cart charger a Lester Summit 2 for a 36 volt cart. Plugged it in today first time and it charged and the proper indicator lights went on and all worked fine.... right now a green light is blinking fast and according to the manual it is performing a BALANCE/ EQUALIZE charge cycle. my meter is reading on the batteries a 44.2 charge. BUT MY MANUAL TELLS ME NOTHING ABOUT WHAT A BALANCE / EQUALIZE CYCLE IS and if 44 v is ok.... anyone know what that cycle means and is that 44.2 v reading OK???
thanks for any answers.....

LESTER SUMMIT 2 CHARGER

The 44.2 for six 6s is like 14.73v for a pair. That is a normal charging voltage, no problem.

However, it is not an equalization level voltage, which would be more like 16v a pair, or 48v.

THANKS for the response. while it was charging normally before my meter was reading around 38.3, once it was complete they read 37.10, than it kicked in to this balance mode and the batts read the 44.2. will check it again a a couple hours. thanks again, as long as i know its normal operation...
