Default Best charger for Trojan T875 Batteries?

Still trying to decide if i want to upgrade now or later. I can get T875 batteries for about $10 more than the T105 so that's not too bad on the wallet, just depends on what charger to go with them. I've seen talk of having a charger that's compatible with US batteries when people have those. Is the same thing true for Trojan batteries?

Trojan brand batteries used to be the de facto standard for golf cart batteries and nearly all golf cart chargers were designed to charge Trojan batteries. Other brands of golf cart batteries were either Trojan clones or close enough that the Trojan charging profile charged them fairly well, then US Battery brand golf cart batteries started being used and not all of the chargers with a Trojan brand changing profile had a high enough finish voltage to fully charge them, so they were chronically undercharged and didn't last very long.

Many of the modern chargers have user selectable charging profiles.

Just about any of the 48V chargers currently on the market will properly charge Trojan brand batteries.

I'm using a DPI Accusense with my 42V pack, but when(if) I go to 48V, I'll most likely go with the Yewy 1200z. http://www.cartsunlimited.net/yewy-1...t-charger.html It float charges after the regular charge cycle while the latest crop of DPI chargers no longer have that feature.

Thanks JohnnieB! It looks like Scottyb is out of stock on the ones with the float charge cycle.
