Powerwise charger help
Im new to carts so bear with my lack of knowledge. I have all new batteries in my 36 volt ezgo, and it takes a full charge no issue. My question is in regards to my powerwise charger. Is it supposed to kick back on if the voltage drops below a set point? I have a parasitic drain on the batteries that i haven't found yet so im making sure things are on the up and up.

Re: Powerwise charger help
If it’s an electronic charger manufactured by Delta Q, the charging algorithms programmed into those units has a maintenance mode so long as the cart is kept connected to AC power.
I’m not entirely certain on the older core and coil non-electronic design. I would imagine not so, but someone else might be able to chime in on that. |

The first two do not automatically come back on once the charge cycle completes. The third one (PW-QE) supposedly has a maintenance mode, but I've heard it doesn't work. ------------ Lead-acid batteries self discharge at about 1% SoC per day, how fast are your batteries draining? |

Re: Powerwise charger help
I have a Powerwise charger (Delta, I think) that came with my cart bought from a dealer. They told me that once the battery is full, it will not act as a battery tender once the voltage drops below a certain amount. I have to unplug it and plug it back in again to re-initiate the charging process. I tried using a wifi plug with a schedule, but it does not seem to work. I still have to unplug/plug again. It does not seem to have a trickle mode. Or does it have one and I just don't see it. Any ideas? or should I look at a another charger. This is our first cart. TIA

Re: Powerwise charger help
That charger in the pic is a SC-48. It does not have any "trickle" or "float" mode. And, even if it claimed to come back on as needed, I wouldnt trust it as far as I could throw it. (But, "throwing it" in the nearest dumpster is an idea I like). Those are just the horrible QE charger wearing new lipstick.
