Default Advice on replacing battery charger in Precedent

I have a 2010 48V Precedent Cart 4 seater. Now running a 5KW Navitas controller and motor. Standard wheels.

My charger has failed for the second time since I bought the cart 8 years ago. I haven’t replaced this myself (my local mechanic did it) and so have no idea what the standard charger even looks like, but it is internal to the cart.

Right now I’m running Trojan T-875 batteries but would like option to upgrade to lithium one day in the future. I guess I need some very basis guidance on the best charger to buy (assuming that something better than standard is available) - must fit inside the cart same as the standard charger. I dont even know if there’s a charger suitable for both the Trojan and possible future lithium batteries.

Many thanks in advance. Always learning!

Lithium batteries will require a completely different charger than lead acid batteries. And most lithium packs come with a charger for that pack.

I wouldn’t recommend any charger for your current batteries and expect it to be compatible with a lithium upgrade

Thanks. I guess I need advice on a good internal charger for standard batteries. Amazon works well for me as I’m overseas and they do free shipping on most items, but its difficult to tell if their chargers are suitable for being fitted internally to the cart. Advice appreciated. Thanks.

The Lester Summit II is compatible with certain Lithium batteries, as well as Lead acid.
Delta Q also has a new version of their IC650 that is able to charge lithium. If you decide to upgrade to a commonly available lithium drop-in pack I would expect either one of those to have a suitable charge profile to match your battery.

You do have to be careful of what you buy if you are going to get lithium, it is not as forgiving as lead acid if something goes wrong inside the battery, or if it is not charged properly.

Thanks for the advice - are these chargers suitable for internal fixing to the cart? Thanks

Lester states their Summitt II is safe for on board mounting. You did not mention whether you have an OBC in the cart as it may have been disabled when the motor/controller were installed. If you do and want to use the factory charger plug outlet, you'll need to disable it (fairly simple), or replace the outlet, or simply get a connector such as sb50s and lift the seat to connect for charging.
