Best charger for G29?

MCJEFE · 01-29-2020, 01:39 PM

I'm starting to dabble with my 1st Yamaha and one of its issues may be the charger.

My neighbor went to the dealer and they were told that they needed a new charger, plug and connector. Previously someone had the cord and connector swapped with a 36v plug and receptacle when the original went bad. I will be back to look at it myself next week and take my measurements. In the meantime I will look at my potential parts list.

The dealer is saying the cart is not fully charging and is quoting $560, $170 parts and $390 labor...

Looking for recommendations for chargers to get or stay away from.

They come new with Delta Q. So figure that would be good. Rest I don't know. Not familiar with chargers

Dpi & lester are good. And I dont particularly hate the "yellow & black" QuiQ charger either.

If they are charging $390 labor to swap out charger & charge port, never go back there.

I agree with cgtech. I like the DPI because its a "transformer type charger. IE: transformer/relay and board and repairable if needed.

I like the Lester Summit 650w smart charger with BT.

What about the MODz. They are only a couple hundred bucks. Anyone have experience with them?

Well, the "high frequency" chargers like that already have a bad enough reputation, going with the cheaper end of the ones that already have a bad record doesnt sound like too good of a deal to me. Spend the money as you wish, but, I wouldnt buy one.

"A couple hundred bucks"? Spend the extra $50 for a brand you have heard of before, with a reputation for backing their product & warranty. Dont know if Mods does good with their warranty, but I know the known names do.

Like i said, i wouldnt buy that.
