Re: Charging different brand batteries with ERIC charger?
940-0008_DQT01-C041_rev1_704C.zip
This is the zip file that I received from Delta Q before they stopped.....It has Alg #3 which is what you want for Trojan 875's with the latest software version 4.7.0.8...Unzip it to a formated thumb drive...Put the drive into your charger and plug it into ac power but not the cart...The green light will flash for a minute or so and then turn solid..That's it...Hope it works for you... |

Algo#3 is designed for Trojan batteries and is Non-temp compensated, so does not require a temp sensor, thus it works better with the Club Car ERIC charger. |

Re: Charging different brand batteries with ERIC charger?
So #3 seems to be better to use than #1 ok.
I only have an apple laptop and a newer apple desk top, the desk top only has USB ports, no place to insert a card, not sure if my very old apple lap top can accept a drive. The person I spoke to at the charger company said that this would not work with an apple computer only with a PC, has anyone successfully done this with an apple computer? |

Re: Charging different brand batteries with ERIC charger?
You copy those folders in the ZIP file to a USB stick, not an SD-Card.
You don't need a PC to update the charger, but You will need a PC later to read the diagnostic results from the charger when it places it on the USB drive. |

Re: Charging different brand batteries with ERIC charger?
We have some older Eric Precedent Trojan for 1 Year now. We also have some Precedent with Power Drive charger. I have seen things on the stock Eric i never have seen before. As we are figuring it out with the help of this forum and with the suppliers right now - i do not want to front run our findings here.
If you have CC with Eric Chargers and you need much water and the Cart suddenly doesnt charge any more with 2 year old battery send me a PM. Especially when your Erics start charging and suddenly click stop charging and start the same cycle again. There may be a reason for it an a good cheap fix. Only sent me PM if you or the garage has checked the wires and those trojan were always looked after. |

Algorithm #3 is for use with Trojan batteries and is does not require the temp sensor and people here have found it to work better than #1. I just changed the algorithm on one for a co-worker of mine and her charger was pre-set with algorithm #256 from the factory. So it seems the version of the charger or possibly the year of the cart may make a difference in which algorithm the original charger came with. And for what it's worth, her cart did have PD+ batteries prior to having T875s installed by the local dealer a few months ago. The local dealer made no mention or attempt to re-program her charger with the correct algorithm for Trojan batteries. |

Re: Charging different brand batteries with ERIC charger?
Great thread. I have Crown 165s and doubt my dealer knows anything about algorithms. I shall check it this week.

Re: Charging different brand batteries with ERIC charger?
Just replaced my stock PD Plus batteries with new Trojan 875s. Put them on the ERIC charger after install and the charger has been hitting them hard. After many hours my volt meter is registering 64 volts. Is this an equalization charge, or is th ERIC charger not programmed correctly?
Do I need to reprogram this charger with the #3 algorithim as others have commented? Can I use a Mac for this or must I use a Windows machine? Any advice appreciated. |

Re: Charging different brand batteries with ERIC charger?
3 is what it should be. The last time I was on ERIC site it was only for windows.
