DPI 48v Charger Un-plug ??

Ralph289 · 03-21-2015, 02:46 PM

Hi, On a DPI 48v charger is it ok to leave it plugged in to the wall power outlet all the time. Or un-plug after using. Seems warm if left plugged in.
Thanks

I leave mine plugged in. Its been at least 3 weeks since the last run. It keeps mine at 53.1.

Where the unit is located in my garage I can not leave it plugged in to the CART all the time, what I am trying to say is if the charger is unplugged from the cart is it ok to leave it plugged into the wall outlet. Even though it get warm just plugged into the wall.
Thanks

There is no problem leaving DPI charger plugged in all the time .. As long as you check in on it once a month to check it , out I use it fo long term storage, no problems

For what length of time? While it's highly unlikely that your going to hurt anything; but for the overall life of the charger I would not leave it plugged into the wall without it being plugged into the cart for periods of time EXCEEDING 24 hours....

That is exactly where mine keeps my batteries at too.... I work offshore and the wife does not find much use in the cart so it stays plugged in for 4 weeks at a time....

I say unplug it if its not gonna be hooked to the cart for a few weeks, as the transformer is always live when its plugged in (except for a few oem models with ac relays). Just for the power usage. If the cart is there, keep it plugged in to the cart and the wall. Dont forget to plug it back in when back in service, or you will be disappointed with its charging abilities

Thank you all for your help, think it is best for ME to plug it in when I get ready to charge.
Thanks
