2013 GEM Electric has new batteries, QuiQ charger flashing red 6 times (internal charger fault), turtle indicator flashing. Will a new charger fix problems? ---

Why does it have new batteries? Did the problem/s exist before the new batteries. Come back with a problem history in order. We then might be more able to help you. Suggest you follow the trouble shooting tree for the GE T4 controllers.

Hi Old\_Houseboater, Checked red B+ and green wires both have 72v. The QuiQ charger red indicator flashes 6 times. After plugged in scrolls through the charger lights test then the 120 v in stays lit and then shortly after the red indicator comes on flashing 6 times. On the display the turtle indicator remains flashing. The indicator never lights to show I’m plugged in even though it is. This condition existed prior to me changing all 9 batteries. This is used on a college campus and they ran the batteries dead several times because they never bothered to plug it in routinely after each use. This leads me to a faulty charger, but at $1300 I wanted to be certain. Any thoughts? Thanks. Tom ---

You might consider getting your charger re-manufactured about 2 1/2 weeks 6 months warrrenty Normally $318 but yours might be a bit more. Diehl Engineering 3233 Myakka River Road tavares Fl 32778 ---

I am having exact scenario of charger flashing red 6 times and turtle on dash. Batteries are 2yrs old but charged each manually and confirmed minimum voltage of 12 for each. When I plug in to charge, it does not show as charging on dash. So it sounds like a charger issue based on feedback. What causes a charger to go bad? What type of place would typically look at this type of charger? I live in Kansas City area where the GEM is almost non-existent. I have a 2012 e4. I would love feedback please! Melanie ---

Suggest you contact Dave Bissen (INWO) various year GEMs have different charger configurations. He can fix you up with the right model Delta Q charger set up for the battery type you have in your cart. Rodney ---
