How to Install a Battery Meter on a Golf Cart Club Car

[@miguelramos6809]

what kind of wire did you use to run the C to the ignition

[@adambarry3386]

Installed this. Registered full immediately. Drove until it was down 4 bars. Then charged again. 36v(6 6volt batteries) all less than a year old. Now it won't register as full when charger finishes. Only at the 4th from full. Any idea why?

i find disconnecting the positive side of the meter off and on resets it kind of crappy this does that...

[@adambarry3386]

@GreyTechLive that worked, thanks my friend appreciate it

[@fettmund9077]

Very helpful, thank you!

[@GreyTechLive]

So glad it did thank you!

I wired mine the exact way in this video but is gauge always on. At first I thought I put the C wire on the wrong key terminal so I switched it but still got the same result. Why is this happening?

[@Cameronguitar444]

Same thing on a club car precedent that I'm working on... Ran both wires to the batteries for the full 48v and the ignition blue to the c on the meter ....always on.

[@michaelbanasiak3015]

So is it 36 volt or 12 volt power?

[@GetRealBaby]

It wasn't explained, but you've got to hook up the battery meter to the same batteries as your charger is hooked up to: Positive wire (+) to the #1 battery and Negative wire (-) to your #6 battery. It'll read 36v if you've hooked it up correctly, provided your batteries are fully charged. I like the yellow light idea beside his voltage meter, but if your meter is working correctly, it will tell you when you need a charge. Still, it's a nice feature to have this yellow warning light just i case you're not paying attention to your meter.

Did the install instructions say to wait 20 minutes to get get an accurate reading anytime the batteries are reconnected?

[@GreyTechLive]

It really should work as soon as you connect it

[@donaldfennell4150]

What is the orange BATTERY light to the left of your new meter for?

[@GreyTechLive]

Usually this is because The batters in the golf cart are really low and needs to be charging immediately

[@GetRealBaby]

@@GreyTechLive Where did you find that "low battery indicator" light? Did you hook that up yourself or did your cart come with it already? Thanks...good video.

[@Tgray2064]

@@GetRealBaby The ORANGE low battery lights is factory installed. 👍

[@DavidMartinez-uz2vf]

Does a blue light stay on on yours

[@godgunzndrumz]

WOW!! You could eat a Ham Sameech off those batteries. LOl Thanks for the vid.

[@bradtremper2815]

I put a new meter in, when I place ignition in the off position the light on my power meter is staying on . Can anyone please help me out with this? thanks

[@GreyTechLive]

Are you using the power that's being fed off the battery relay to turn on after the key is turned?

[@javi1373]

Try the other wire on your ignition

[@CopeBUILT]

On mine, I have to turn off the key, move Forward reverse selector to the middle (off) position, and then touch the accelerator to drain power from the LED circuit.

[@demekamitchell1457]

Hook it up to the other wire to your ignition switch I had the same problem with my club car 36v

[@Houdefinition42Productions]

I’m having the same issue. I wired it to one port on my key switch and while the key was in off there was power to the gauge. I thought whoops wired it to the constant so I switched it to the other but the gauge still came on while the key was in off. How does this happen?

[@kevinimerti7522]

Who cut the opening?

[@_CobraHub_]

Why does mine not stay on when it’s in drive?

[@kyle_187]

Lol a wrer you mean a wire? Just playing thanks for the vid

[@GreyTechLive]

haha ya so bad at talking thanks!

[@jthoske]

On my 2018 ClubCar Tempo, I had +12v and ground behind my panel, but they always read 100% no matter how much I’ve driven. I suspect this power lead is meant for an accessory that needs constant +12v, so it’s after the 48v -> 12v converter for the smaller electronics like lights speakers usb

[@golfnutt1969]

Did you resolve this? I connected my meter per the directions in this video and I get the same thing. My meter shows 100% full no matter how much I use it.

[@frankgollahon4947]

mines the same..did you find out the problem

[@JohnSmith-bo6ff]

What's that freaking yellow light for?

[@danielhudson6716]

All that information and you still didn’t tell how to wire the damn thing.

[@GreyTechLive]

lol ya i didnt show you your right i tell you how to do it my golf cart already had the prep wire there for this.

[@gregschafer1112]

What gage wire should you use if there isn’t wiring already installed?
