Sounds like you shouldn't be playing with the cover off.

Just kidding.

Probably anyone who messes with electricity has been bitten more times than they'd care to admit, often from doin' somethin' dumb. I know I have.

The biggest thing to worry about on these chargers is the capacitor, which could hold a charge. Though it isn't the "right" way to discharge a cap, I just short them out with a screwdriver.

Yeah, I've had a couple coils bite me because I wasn't looking. They hurt!

Sorry to but in, I have a powerwise charger and doesn't seem to maintaining the charge on my batteries. Does this charger have this capability? I have a early 2001 EZ-GO TXT. If I unplug the charger and plug it back and hour or so before I use it I notice that the voltage was higher and the cart ran better

Yes and No.
For long term storage, the "Powerwise" and "Powerwise+" chargers will keep a battery pack above 70% Soc to prevent (Minimize) sulfating the plates.
However, they do not have a trickle charge mode, which is what I suspect you are looking for.
