Ever seen a CC charger like this?
My grandson purchased a "95 CC DS. Runs good. It is a series cart. 48v. Looks to be pretty much original although I'm not a CC expert. This is the charger that came with it. It is a powerdrive but this looks like a modification to me and not a factory part. Could this be a modification to the charger to make it work with a failed or bypassed OBC?

I like it! Never seen it before, but it looks like a Powerdrive I that someone updated with the electronics.

If I recall correctly, it would only work on one of my cc carts, and the standard factory charger would not charge that particular cart |

Re: Ever seen a CC charger like this?
Those "timer devices" were not intended to be used with a Powerdrive charger which is basically a power supply.
You have no way to regulate the current so it basically does a bulk charge until it reaches the maximum voltage. Timers would work well with a Ferroresonat charger since they regulate the output current as the pack voltage rises with the charging. |

Re: Ever seen a CC charger like this?
I think it is just a step above plugging a by-passed powerdrive by hand and unplugging it above 60v+.
There are better options in the smart charger models. |

Re: Ever seen a CC charger like this?
Thanks everyone. Should have known the answer was already on the forum somewhere and now that RIB dug it up I vaguely remember it. Stupid brain.
