Using EZGO powerwise charger with old Cushman

[nkcarizona]

I have an old Cushman cart that I restored and a 2005 EZGO with a powerwise charger. I would like to use the powerwise charger on the old cart (which came with an old Lester charger that does not shut down automatically) as well as with the EZGO. I cannot find an adapter to use the EZGO charger with the crows foot on the Cushman. Does anyone know of such an adapter? If not, can I install an EZGO receptacle on the Cushman?

Yeah, you can do that. Another option is to install Anderson connectors on both the cart and the charger:

Andersons are industry standard, can be had for cheap, and are simple to install.

I want to use the charger with both the EZGO and the Cushman so converting the charger to Anderson's is not an option. I have not found a Powerwise to Anerson adapter.

The Powerwise receptacles seem to make a distinction between carts with regenerative braking(which mine has) and those without. Why is that? The old Cushman has only a two wire connection. The powerwise recptacle has three wires. What do I do with the thrid small wire. I assume the charger needs that connected somehow.
