72 volt GEM Car battery recovery technique. In this video we use a six bank 10 amp battery charger to independently boost the six deep cycle gel batteries.
The Problem: Gem Car charger will not turn on because the battery "pack" voltage is too low.
Solution: Charge each battery with an external (portable) 12v 10, 15 or 20 Amp charger.
Goal: The on-board charger will function and batteries will not be left in a damaging state of discharge.
Buy inexpensize battery volt meter - amzn.to/2XX2fvA
Battery brand is Leoch p/n LPG12-100. Another brand of gel deep cycle battery is Deka 8G31. AGM deep cycle batteries do not last as long as the gel types.
The six 12v Gel deep cycle batteries are connected in Series
The battery disconnect switch or kill switch should be used anytime the Gem car is idle and not on charge. The car has a parasitic battery draw

Great information. Thanks! I've heard a lot about those quick chargers. But yeah, very pricey.

Hey bud I have a question, if you put the cart in jacks can you run a cart without batteries? The reason why I am asking is to test the golf cart before you spend money getting batteries and find out that was not the problem I am a tech myself not for this gem carts but I do understand a couple things, so if a plug 72 volts wire, that's should make this cart go, but I asking you since you are a tech for . Thx

Hi. my batteries are too low (2014 GEM E4) to be recharged by the onboard system and I have tried the approach recommended by GEM -- quick charging each battery for 10 - 20 minutes, then plugging in the on-board charger. What position does the master switch need to be in when quick charging and then on-board charger? Thank you!

Mine won’t start I get a code -04

-04 code this means the controller believe that the brake is on and has locked out the main relay. This occurs to prevent the GEM from being driven with the brake on. There is a small switch mounted to the park brake handle that reads whether or not the brake is on.

I need to know what color the bar should be once it's charged I can't find any pictures of the lit up dashboard. Should it have yellow lines or green?

The gem has a 72v to 12v dc converter, remove the the dash panel and use a mulitmeter to test volts in and volts out. check all wires in and out.. do a continuity test from lights to the dc converter
