Lester Summit onboard charger mounting

v2comp

I just received my new Lester Summit onboard charger, and was wondering if any of you guys have one, and if so, how and where did you mount it? Pics please.

Thank you sir.

I’ve got a question about the summit II. I just got one today. I monitored it with the app as it was charging and I noticed that after it got to 100% it kept charging for about an hour. I ended up unplugging it for about a minute and plugged it back in. When it came back up it said 91%. Any good reason for this. The batteries are brand new. That was actually the first time I charged them.

Did you set up the correct battery profile selector? If you have new batteries I would let the charger finish all the charging Phases before unplugging.
Did you get the 650w, 1050w or 1425w..?

I got the 650w. I didn’t set up the battery profile. The shop I got it from said it was ready to use for a 48 volt cart. I did try to play around in the app but could not figure out how to change any of those things. I unplugged because it was still going about an hour after it reached 100%. Looking at the manual again, I had a solid yellow LED so I’m guessing it was in the finish phase, any idea how long that lasts?

The finish phase may last several hours depending on battery condition and charge level, and can vary based on the battery manufacturers recommendation for the charge profile. Be sure to use the App to select the proper profile for YOUR batteries, as using the wrong profile can over or under-charge the pack and ruin it.

Brand new batteries need several cycles before they reach their full potential, and you may notice longer or differing charge times with each cycle for the first 15-20 cycles. Try not to interrupt the charger during the charge cycle. Let it run until it says it's complete.

Great, thanks for the help.

You need to set up the battery type that you are charging. Here is the manual for the charger app.

The SOC reads 100% on mine not long after the charger starts. Even when the voltage drops down below 50.8 volts if the cart has been sitting for a while the SOC still shows 100 percent. Im a little disappointed in in the fact i thought it would keep a trickle charge on the pack at all times. Come to find out from lester it will only do a maintenance charge after 10 days of sitting idle on the charger, or the pack voltage gets down to 47 volts.
