My 48 volt (six 8 volt batteries) wouldn’t run after the winter despite y running the charger several times during the winter. I found that many of the cables and posts were corroded so I cleaned them all. I saw how it was necessary to get a charge into each battery in order for the 48 volt charger to recognize to turn on. I used my 12 volt car charger for about 30 minutes on each battery but when I plugged in the 48 volt charger I could hear it humming but the needle simply jiggled around a bit at the 0 level on the meter. I checked that I had put the cables back on properly with Positive on one battery to Negative on the nee next and so on. Also found horn won’t sound and buzzer doesn’t work when put in reverse. With nothing happening can you offer any suggestions. Wonder if I need to charge each battery more than 30 minutes. Pretty befuddled so hope I can get help.
Bruno: Most likely one of your batteries is completely damaged and will nor recover. Test each one by one to check and replace.
