DPI,Should I switch Power Off While Not In Use?
Is it better for the charger to keep the power on while not charging?

If you don't, you've disabled the float mode.

^^ Agreed.....if you're talking about while not even plugged into the cart, it doesn't really make any difference. Some do, some don't unplug the A/C power.

I don't know what goes on inside that charger when you plug/unplug/replug every day, but I've always heard that with a lot of electronics, they last longer if you just turn them on and leave them on, rather than cycling power. Certainly true for incandescent bulbs, but may be a myth for electronics.

Yes, I was talking about when the charger is unplugged from the cart. I was just thinking on a busy Summer day it would powered up 12 hours and unplugged from the cart. I don't care about how much power is used, just trying to do whats best for the charger.
Thanks |
