Re: Plug in daily or not?
Not cheap, but DPI chargers do this automatically, floats a 48v system at around 52vilts.

Re: Plug in daily or not?
That's true and probably the best solution. I don't have one of those so I use the Granite Save-a-Battery and attach it after my PowerDrive charger is finished. Just be sure to get the 48V model (for a 48V cart).

Re: Plug in daily or not?
I think they might still do on the new Gen IV's. It just has to be set correctly. This is from the manual:
FLOAT/MAINTENANCE STANDBY Charge Stage: -The entry into this stage typically signifies that the battery is FULLY charged and has a Green LED ‘Charged’ indicator associated with it. On an LCD display, the status will display as ‘FLT’. -No further charging action occurs. However, all batteries, regardless of chemistry, self-discharge at a rate that is proportional to ambient temperature meaning that if a battery sits on a table completely disconnected from all loads, it will self discharge over many months. -This charge stage, depending on the MODE selected will either: *Regulate at a low voltage level to supply a ‘trickle current’ to ‘MAINTAIN’ battery at full charge (prevent self discharge), or *Disconnect itself from A.C. Power by disabling the internal relay, and allow the battery voltage to ‘FLOAT’ for 45 days, at which time, the charger will automatically re-initiate, a new charge cycle and automatically reconnect to A.C. Power, or *Re-start charging if the battery voltage decays below a trigger voltage level. |
