Will a Listronics charger work on any 36 volt system?

Will a Listronics charger work on my golf cart?

I learned today that the Turf Rider IV that I purchased will not be including a battery charger. Though I was unaware that when I purchased it, the fact is, I now need to purchase a charger.

A person local to me has a 36 V charger made by Lestronic II . From the looks of the cart side of the cord, I believe it was for an EZGO. It is said to be working properly, and the lowest that he will take is $100.

If I cut off the EZGO connector, and replace it with the proper one to attach to my Turf Rider IV, will this work to charge the 6 V batteries, 36 V system, for me?

I plan to post this in a couple of different areas to try to touch people that know electric carts and charging systems. Thank you.

Yes. you will want to know the charger max output and try to match that to the new battery pack. Recommended suggested output is 10% of the battery amp hour capacity.

Well, as someone who has never owned an electric cart, this promises to be...interesting.

I know I'll need to purchase batteries, and if I understand what you've said, I need to mindful of what I purchase if I have already pre-purchased the charger. I have talked to a person somewhat local to me who sells new Deca GC10 batteries. A set of 6 for $475 with no core charge. For something that will only be used sporadically, unless advised otherwise, I'll likely select a modestly priced set.

Thank you for your help.

The 21 amp max marked on the case should match up well with any average battery

If you are not doing a historical restoration, consider upgrading the drive system to solid state operation.

I'm more interested in the cosmetic side of the restoration. While I'll save all original parts, I'm open minded about an electrics upgrade. Unless you have a link to a page that describes this type of upgrade, I'll take some time to search it out.

Truly appreciate your help on this.
