Default Re: Charger Comparison

I've attached a picture of the back of my new charger. The model number is 26070. I've also attached a picture of the amp meter on the charger. It's been charging all day and when I unplug and plug back in, it goes up to about 5 amps.

Here’s your charger manual from Lester.

And screenshot below of the manual section that confirms that is the correct charger for your application.

Lester does, or at least did make a stand alone version of the links series. I have one that was new in 2016. In my case it has an EZGO plug on it but likely there was a version for CC and Yamaha also. The model no. on mine is 28100.

There was a recall on these last Sept. Here is a link:https://www.cpsc.gov/Recalls/2018/le...d-burn-hazards To the OP: you should check your model and serial number at this link.

Lester doesn't show this charger on their web site anymore (Aug. 2 2019). Maybe they have discontinued this model.

OP: In my opinion this is not an equal to the ERIC charger. No maintenance mode for example. I agree with others that you should return it and get a Summitt 2.

Edit: your serial no. isn't included in the recall

It clearly says in the manual it's not intended for carts with an OBC. How can I be sure that my cart has an OBC? Did all 2014 models come with an OBC?

How high did the amps start when you first plugged it in?
With that type charger 5 amps indicates the charger is in the finish phase and nearly done charging. If you unplug and plug it back in, it will jump to the finish phase based on the battery pack voltage.
After you use the cart (drive around for 30 minutes or so) and plug back in, it should jump up to around 15 amps. If the cart has been heavily used in a day, the full charge cycle can take 12 to 16 hours.

When I plugged it in yesterday after not being charged a while it went up to 20 amps. I heard the beeps and assumed all was good.

Ok. I was reading some of the first replies and thought my cart had an OBC. Then the further down I read, I realized it did not have an OBC. I was getting confused over this.

So, I should be good with this charger correct?

Yep, that one is correct for your cart and should work well for you for a long time.

Sorry to have given you wrong information at the start of the thread. Happy carting!
