Default DC Cord Length

I have two golf carts with two different charger models and want to have longer DC cords for both.

One charger is a PowerDrive model 17930-11 for my older 48 volt DS cart.
The other charger is a PowerDrive2 for my wife's newer 48 volt Precedent cart.

I am looking to go about 20 feet on each for versatility in where carts are parked during charging.

I have seen a CC part # 10188903 for a 250-inch DC cord. The one online source I saw for it was cost about $200. Wondering if this would work on both chargers.

Also wondering if I could buy appropriate wires and put it together myself, maybe reusing the existing DC plugs. I am comfortable doing solder work as needed.

Thanks in advance for your comments.

As far as making your own, sure you can, just need to get the correct gauge wires and hook them to the charger and plug just as they are now.

What is the difference in the cords, Dawg? (I thought they were about the same)

Can you not use a heavy duty extension cord?

Different type of terminals for the connections inside the charger (ring vs blade) for PD1 vs PD2

Oh, ok. I thought it was meaning they were different gauge wires or something in the current carrying process. Thanks

My old PD charger has a molded plug so you would have to get a replacement plug from somebody like Amazon for $30.

Then go to Lowes and buy the length of cable you need.

On my '98 48v DS, I got a regular outdoor extension cord the length I needed and a male and a female cord end. I cut the DC cord on the charger in two in the middle and installed the male and female cord ends to the two ends (make sure the polarity is right). You can then put whatever length drop cord you need in the middle or you can plug the two ends together and have it the original length. I don't know if it will work on your chargers but I've been using it with mine and a 12' extension cord for 3 years and no issues.

That's as bad as fixing your seats with duct tape.
