What do I need to know about an MPT?

I took the cart. All of the batteries were had manufacture dates of July 8, 2016. Same date on all of them and all pretty darn close voltage wise. He had done some work cleaning up the cart, so paint was fresh but all looked really good. I was pretty sold on getting a cart like this, a good fit for us so I thought I’d take the chance. He had another set of wheels with the tires on it I was going to go out and buy that he threw in as well so that saves me a few hundred bucks. Got it home and ran it with our trailer to spread some manure and it did it with no problem. Seemed way better than our current cart. Hoping it holds up well!

I am in total agreement with Bob. The 6 amp charger is very under sized ... you will need something in the 20 amp range to charge and maintain your 48 volt battery pack. Nice looking work cart

I’m ordering a new charger. Just need to figure out with Scotty if his new chargers have the connector I need or not. If not I’ll get a DPI. Batteries might be sketchy so I want to do everything I can to treat them right and a proper charger is the right thing to do. I’m happy overall, it is a very nice upgrade.

New DPI charger ordered. They don't have the notched / square connector on the Yewey.
