OBC and Charger
Can a newer Precedent charger be used as a standalone charger directly to the batteries with no OBC involved with no issues?

Re: OBC and Charger
The ERIC charger used on 2014 and up Precedent does not use the OBC. It is a stand-alone unit.
If you have an OBC cart, you need to bypass the OBC, and the controller lockout circuit. The PowerDrive 3 charger used on pre-2014 models has to have the OBC. It can not be used without it. |

Re: OBC and Charger
If you have the Off-board version of the ERIC, I think it will not start a new charge cycle just by unplugging and plugging into AC power. At least according to club car the DC power has to be disconnected for it to start a new charge cycle.
That means either using a relay to break the connection between the charger and batteries or continuing to use the DC charge receptacle and plug. They made a specific on-board version, which is harder to find. |
