We use them with good results. I retail them for $299 with the AC receptacle.. The Units on eBay are refurbished. Also I sell a nice Mounting bracket for Ezgo. It mounts under the driver seat. PM me for a price or Ebay & make your own.
Either way they are a good charger.

Thanks Scotty, im glad to hear other people are using these chargers. i would definitly like to purchase one new from you at your price, but with money these days im going to have to take my chances with the refurbished one on ebay. I Appreciate the help and yes send me a message on the bracket and ac receptacle. Thanks again.



another question. what are yall dojng with the third wire that comes out the stock receptacle that hooks to the f/r switch?

The seller on ebay has great service, Ive had two chargers fail and he quickly sent me out a replacement with return shipping label for the defective unit. You are gonna need to put a fused jumper wire between the + post on the pack and F&R switch, or else the cart will not run.

May I ask why?

The first one, the fan quit, then it wouldn't power up. The second just quit charging. I'm still satisfied with the product and service I got from Chargerguysales, he stands by his products 100%.

clarification to my why: Why the wire from the pack to the f&r switch or it won't run.

I'm an idiot.

There is a read switch(inhibit switch) built into the receptacle that kills power to the F&R switch when the charger is turned on, so without the factory receptacle or power to the F&R switch the cart wont move.

Thanks for the help hotcat.. i also bought mine from chargerguys..but noticed it was a 90day warranty. did yours fail before that? and how many amp inline fuse did you use? plan on reusing the existing wire just gonna add the fuse to it like you explained.

The first one was in the 90 days but the second wasn't.

I used a 5A fuse because that's how its shown in the Alltrax controller diagram. The sealed fuse holder I used had wires long enough to reach between the batt + and F&R switch(10''), I just added an eyelet to one side and a spade terminal to the other. So no need to cut the factory charger wires, keep it intact and put it aside, you'd be surprised how much that stock receptacle assy. cost.
