DPI Gen III / Interstate/Costco Charge Mode?
I have 48 volt charger DPI 1-48017-04 and six 8 volt Interstate/Costco batteries. Looking for charging mode recommendation. Back of charger states these modes:
1. US Battery 2. Trojan 3. Exide 4. FullRvr I searched this forum and found some suggesting mode 3, others mode 1 and even a couple suggesting mode 2. |

I would think your best bet would be to email DPI and ask them

Re: DPI Gen III / Interstate/Costco Charge Mode?
ACUTALLY.....I have a 3 Gen DPI charger and when I bought a new set of INTERSTATE batteries (the pack before the one I have now) it was simple, I CALLED INTERSTATE BATTERY and they told me to use MODE 1, the algorithm for US BATTERIES.

Re: DPI Gen III / Interstate/Costco Charge Mode?
That's interesting...I would think since US Batteries have a slightly higher charge voltage they would be in a league of their own along with AGMs. I figured most golf cart batteries would be along the lines of Trojan's specs, considering the Ah are similar unless specified by DPI's profiles.

Re: DPI Gen III / Interstate/Costco Charge Mode?
Both DPI and Interstate replied to use Mode II, the Trojan setting. Here are the replies:
David, So this is our Gen III model with only 4 modes to select from. We would recommend mode 2 for the flooded Trojans, so a jumper at the very top and very bottom sets of pins. This is what we recommend for most flooded lead acid type batteries that aren’t specifically listed. Thanks, Matt Watson RMA Technician Diversified Power International LLC 414 Century Court Piney Flats, TN 37686 Hi, I have charger model 1-48017-04. Can you recommend charging mode for six, 8 volt Interstate/Costco Golf cart batteries? ------------------- Thank you for contacting us. That battery is a Trojan battery. Hope this helps.

Re: DPI Gen III / Interstate/Costco Charge Mode?
must be the fact that you have the Interstate/Costco batteries.....I had straight up Interstate 2200's.....must have made the difference.
but you did the right thing......called Interstate. Just like I did nearly 6 years ago. things change |
