I have a Club Car golf cart. Will I need to bypass the OBC?
FORM chargers are designed to work with functioning OBC (Onboard Computer) and non-OBC 48V Club Car golf carts. When the charger cannot communicate with the OBC, it usually requires a simple fix.
From 1995 to 2014, all Club Car models have an OBC. This computer is very temperamental, which may be why you receive an error code. (Flashing Red, Flashing Yellow, Solid Green in less than 60 seconds) When this occurs, you will need to bypass your OBC. This can be quickly done by following instructions in this OBC Article.
If your current charger still isn't working and you suspect the OBC may be faulty, you may want to purchase our FORM Onboard battery Charger instead, which will connect directly to the batteries and charge your cart regardless of a faulty OBC. You can also take your golf cart to a service technician to replace the OBC. The typical cost is $400-$700.
