Trickle Charger for 48V
After my "Dead Battery " thread, I decided to get new batteries. Now I want to keep them up. As previously stated, I use my cart only occasionally, so most of the time its just sitting in my garage. My used 48V, 4x12 V cell 06 Precident came with your standard Powerdrive 2 charger. Most people are telling me to just leave it plugged in all the time. One person in the previous thread suggested getting a trickle charger. I thought that giving the cart a full charge on the Powerdrive and then leaving it on a battery tender trickle charger sounded like a good idea. But the only one I found (so far) is this one on Amazon
https://www.amazon.com/BatteryMINDer...ustomerReviews That sucker is $300. Anyone know of cheaper alternatives? Thats almost as much as a new charger. |

And that's exactly what I do with mine, using the above trickle charger. |

Re: Trickle Charger for 48V
A lot of folks here have very good things to say about the Save A Battery Maintainer linked above.
I plan on getting one myself. |

Re: Trickle Charger for 48V
I'm using the same one RUT suggested too. Does a nice job. I'll top off with outboard charger then connect the Save A Battery while I'm gone for a couple of weeks. Nice coming back to a fully charged pack.
