Direct wiring battery charger

chadabear · 12-16-2017, 09:53 AM

Recently acquired a Ruff N Tuff 48v, didn't come with a charger and got my hands on a EZGo QE charger. This cart doesn't have a receiver plug in it, and I wanted to mount the charger on board and hardwire directly to batteries. I understand where the + & - wire from charger goes, but what of the third wire? Where do I go with that to make this charger work properly? If I'm not mistaken, it's green. Anyone have the answer??

Don't think the QE is going to operate correctly as a "always plugged in" onboard charger. Might work if you put a switch on the DC side to interrupt power.
