Charger capabilities.

Benny947 · 05-01-2019, 10:25 AM

Have a 1990 Marathon 36V with a EZGO Textron Total Charge (Green face) charger. I need to store it for a couple of months and was wondering if I leave it plugged in, and the batteries self discharge to a certain voltage level, will the charger come back On and restore the batteries to full charge? Or does once it goes through a single charge cycle it is Off for good until manually started?

Thanks
Benny

This charger has no maintenance capabilities. You will need to unplug and reconnect every 30-45 days for the best practice. You could add a cheap 36v maintainer and just recycle the big charger every 60 days or upgrade to a smart charger with both charge and maintenance capabilities.
Hope this helps

That is what I suspected, thanks.

You are welcome... 1990s tech is so last century
