Dad almost made it a full day with out an accident!

Lovnlivin · 03-31-2015, 10:08 AM

I just finished my first build, a gift for my folks to show their "Husker" pride in their neighborhood.

Here's the thread with the completed project near the end: http://www.buggiesgonewild.com/elect...t-folks-8.html

Presented it to them on Sunday, then Monday morning dad comes in my office telling me he had a slight accident

My niece apparently moved the charger in the path of his truck. Soooo, it looks like I'm now in the market for a new charger!

I think I've narrowed it down to DPI and Lester with both running around $300 online. Does anyone have any thoughts or preferences on either of these or maybe even a different one?

Thanks in advance!

Keith

That should buff out.

OUCH, that is going to leave a mark for sure!

Put a Want to Buy post in the Parts section for a powerdrive 2 or 3:

One just sold for $125... lots of people sell them when their OBC goes bad.

LOL mine looked almost that bad when I got it - and it's still hummin.

Ouch !!!! At least no one got hurt.....

Wow

Have you tested it? It may be able to be fixed...

I'd test it (and be ready to unplug if you see sparks lol). If it works you might be able to make it resemble a cube again and it'll save some $$.

EDIT: I'd also see if I could get the cover off and inspect things for obviously damaged parts before plugging it in.

I got a new charger ordered today (Club Car DPI Charger - 48V 15A Powerdrive/IQ, from GCK @ $285 shipped!) so hopefully it'll be here by Friday and in time for Easter weekend.

I guess a little of my frustration came out and figured for what I've put into the cart already, what's another $300

I will try to fix the old one though, if fixable!

If you can get it working again, it could be a backup for another location if you ever travel with it.
