Best charger for the money 48 volts
I have a 2006 PDS that I have installed an Alltrax 400 controller with 4 guage wires. Other than that, my cart is stock.
I am going to add two more batteries to make 48 volts. Looking on Ebay I see these choices: 1. A smart charger from China for $200. Shipping looks very long. 2. A Yamaha charger. Used for around $200. 3. Delta Q for around $450. Will never get this past the wife. 4. Club car. Thanks to this forum I know it won't work. So I guess that I am stuck in the $200 range. Hopefully you will give me some suggestions and I will place my order. Thanks |

Re: Best charger for the money 48 volts
There is a nice Lester on-board available new for about $375
And some good new chargers on the market for under $400 I'm still a believer in Lester products. |

Re: Best charger for the money 48 volts
Butch, I am not trying to high jack your thread, but I thought I read that it is not a good idea to convert a PDS cart to 48 volts without a motor upgrade. Not sure but you may want to check around before you burn up you stock motor. That could get expensive.

Re: Best charger for the money 48 volts
Thanks to all who have replied. Still trying to stay in that $200 or so bracket. Is the Yamaha compatable or do I need to look at something else?

Re: Best charger for the money 48 volts
I'm not a big fan of the Yamaha chargers but they would be compatible as far as I am aware. If you could find a Club Car (or any Lestronic 48v charger), I think you would be far happier than using the Yamaha.

Re: Best charger for the money 48 volts
The Yamaha is only a 17amp charger. I have used them ..... they work okay. They just don't seem to charge the heck out of the batteries? I dunno what it is could be a low cut off setting
 anybody know what the Yamaha cut off voltage is for 48v? |

Re: Best charger for the money 48 volts
just remembered, you can't use a stock Club Car charger without modifying it. The 48v club car chargers don't have a timer inside them......
