Default lester sumitt 2 charger

fixing to bite the bullet and get a new charger for my cart. Will the lester summit 2 charger keep my cart charged without me unplugging and plugging back up? can i set it to charge from anywhere? or is there a range you have to be in with the bluetooth?

Bluetooth usually has a range of about 30' depending on how clear the area around it is.

Yes. Takes care of batteries automatically. Doesn't float like the Gen3 DPI's did but monitors voltage and initiates charge cycle when it decides is appropriate. It also periodically does an equalization charge. I know for sure it does what they claim 'cause I have caught it in the act. Pretty sure it resets itself after a power outage.
Bluetooth works fine and the app is pretty easy to use. You can tell the app the specific brand and capacity (AH) of your batteries and the charger will apply the correct charge algorithm. BUT, to use bluetooth you have to be very close to the charger and all the lights on it flash while you are connected making you think something is wrong if you haven't read the manual.
Supposedly has cloud access. I haven't explored that feature.

I have the 1050W model but I think the 650W has the same features, just lower amps.

Will it keep the batteries charged without me having to reset the charger?

Yes. Plug it in and forget it. You still have to check the battery water levels periodically even if you don't run the cart.

Black resistor is there for the original chargers. Summit shouldn’t need it.

Somehow I messed up and ordered a charger with a gray sb 50 connector instead of the triangle connector for an RXV. I could've sworn I picked one with the RXV plug but when I received it I got a red SB 50 plug so I asked the guy I bought it from if he could send right one and he said he would for $72 so I bought an adapter for $50 off amazon with a RXV plug and SB-50 gray on one end and received it yesterday so it was then i learned red and gray will not plug into each other and they have to be same color. So i asked the guy since it came with a red plug and not gray as listed anyway could he send a cable with the gray plug and he could tell I dont know what I'm doing lol and said he would send a new rxv plug with cable to wire right into the charger and I will send the one back I have now. This has been frustrating because I have been tracking all this stuff because I am anxious to receive it and I still dont have the charger working yet.

Who did you order it from?
No reason a charger cable should be $70, and besides that, the charger doesn't come with a cable, it has to be installed by someone when purchased either the seller or You. I don't see any reason the seller couldn't take back the other plug and sent you the right one.

Crazy story. We sell the 9' RXV cable for $35 and a SB50 to RXV adapter for $16... maybe we can
