powerwise charger
Hi All,
Need some help. I just received 10 carts from the US and whereas most carts have chargers that are dual voltage these are Powerwise QE and I am in Australia. Does anyone know if these are dual voltage, I need them to work on 240vac? Thanks in advance By the way, a fantastic swim by Michael Phelps. Doesn't where you come from in the world, you have to admire a brilliant sportsperson. |

Re: powerwise charger
The input voltage(s) should be listed on the label.
I took a glance at one at Shopezgo.com and it was 120V North America only. http://www.shopezgo.com/products/36V...7-DC-Cord.html They might be available in 240V, but I didn't see any, however I didn't look very hard either. |

Re: powerwise charger
I will see what I can find. Certainly there must be something...I know our DPI chargers are what we call 'dual voltage' rated meaning they are rated for our 220v which is equivalent to your 240v.

Re: powerwise charger
I got an email into my distributor about this, do you want to email me with your postal code or location? We can't really expect much response until Monday our time.

Re: powerwise charger
I'd buy a big 240 to 120 volt transformer (2:1). Size depends on the number of chargers connected at a time. I have dozens, for 480 to 240/120 volt use, but won't let go of them.
May be cheaper than buying lotsa chargers. |

Re: powerwise charger
Good solution for a fleet operation, but I'm not sure how a QE would react to 50Hz.
They aren't exactly reliable on 60Hz. I burnt up the 60Hz power input transformers and AC motors in some equipment I took over to Europe and powered with a step-down transformers. You can got from 50Hz to 60Hz without the heat issues, but not down in line frequency. I have no idea how a ferroresonant transformer type charger would react, but the transformer and cap for a parallel resonate tank, so I'm pretty sure they wouldn't like 50Hz very much. |

Re: powerwise charger
Thanks
Some of these are going to be sold individually so I need a solution per cart. I see on the side of the chargers it states 50/60Hz but I assume that is at 110v |
