Okay, I have one of the closeout 36v Headway packs with the matching rear carrying rack. Here is the strangeness. When I run a wire from the charging port and test the voltage I get a reading around 38v, however, if I run that same lead to my Turnigy watt meter, the meter stays dark. I have two other packs here that I have tested the same way and the watt meter is good, so you can forget about the meter being bad. I also have the light bulb set up. Remember, I am definitely getting a volt reading with a multimeter across the wires. When I plug the light bulbs in...butkus. Nothing. So now I have a charger on the pack, the red light is not coming on and I have the watt meter in between the charger and the battery. The meter is not showing that any juice is flowing into the battery, just showing a voltage of around 44.6v. Can you think of any reason the wires would have voltage but not show on a working meter or light the light bulbs? The only think I can think of is if the meter and the bulbs are both drawing so much current it is tripping the lvc, but I don't think that's the reason.
