Schematic needed
HELP! I'm trying to resurrect an old EZGO Golf Cart for our club. The charger "may" be useable, we are going to need to replace the 6 batteries as they have been frozen, probably more than once, and some of the cables are corroded away completely. Much of the repair is straight forward and the mechanical aspect of the cart is sound despite neglect.
The battery connector on the charger, a "Total Charger" from EZGO, was destroyed but I can slap together a combination from an old dryer plug and receptacle which will certainly handle the current. Here is the rub, the polarity for the DC or "Battery" connector. It appears from what remains of the connector as though it was wired with the Black lead going to the Negative and the White lead to Positive.
While I realize AC and DC conventions are different, I'm questioning the polarity and don't want to reverse it as it would probably damage the charger if it hasn't already.
I contacted EZGO and they sent a "Wiring Diagram", not a schematic, but it does not show the connector. The Diagram just shows the two lead charger cable going off the diagram into the great unknown. It seems actual Schematics are proprietary to their authorized dealers.
If someone has an older EZGO with one of the "Total Charger" units, and could look at the connector, please contact me. Maybe someone even works on the EZGO carts and has first hand experience. Thanks
