Cart Wont Charge

[4crapshoot72]

I have an ezgo cart just bought. 2000 model.
I pulled the batteries and cleaned all the cables. Even put in a new battery.
Had to replace cable from the black box (the one that has 4 screws holding it) to the battery. THe cable went to the positive side of the battery - on the same post is a white cable from the charger plug in (female on cart).
The cart will not charge. Yet in reverse I have a loud signal. I have checked the charger and it functions properly (hooked to another cart)
Part of the hook on the white cable is broken 1/2 circle instead of full circle. Should I try cutting the wire stripping it and wrapping it around the battery post?

Any help appreciated. New at this.
Thanks.

Check to make sure you attached the small wires from the charger receptacle.
Put on a new cable, or at least a new end.
All connections need to be clean and tight.
The pack voltage needs to be 38.2v after a charge.

check the voltage as you need 26 or 28 volts for charger to work, what brand batts?.............................................
