Charger Help
Well I got 8 years out of my Trojan 48v system!! I just put new batteries in today and was wondering if someone could recommend a better charger then the factory one?? Maybe one the does trickle charges or anything else that would help me get great life like I did before. Or should I just stick with the old one?? 2007 Club Car Pres. Thanks for the input!!!

Re: Charger Help
I love DPI charger and it has a float mode. I remember some talk of DPI doing away with the float mode on the latest version but not sure what came of it.

Re: Charger Help
I had a DPI and no complaints whatsoever.
Pretty much any aftermarket charger will require the obc to be bypassed |

Re: Charger Help
I was kind of thinking the same thing... was not sure if that was a fluke lol... Winter is my issue I would really like to have a trickle in the winter.

If it works, 8 years on your last battery pack suggests it does, I would stay with what you've got. Just be sure to check the water periodically. Last edited by meimk; 06-13-2021 at 05:57 AM.. Reason: Add'l info |

• Long-Term Storage Charge Vehicles with PowerDrive 2 chargers are designed to be left connected, with AC power to the charger on, during off-season storage. The onboard computer will automatically activate the charger every 15 days. To return the vehicle to service, unplug the charger DC cord, wait 15 seconds for the computer to reset, and plug the charger back in. This will ensure the batteries are at their optimum charge prior to returning the vehicle to service. |
