Battery maintenance
We go back and forth between Alabama and Florida and the cart can set for 2or 3 months.
I bought 3 of the HARBOR FREIGHT "Battery Maintainers" $7 apiece. They are NOT trickle chargers. I put them on the cart a couple of weeks ago and they actually work. Any of you guys doing this? |

Re: Battery maintenance
How did you hook up the chargers? I assume they are 12v chargers.

Re: Battery maintenance
Put 1 on every 2 battries. (36 volt Cart)
Hmmmm that brings up a question? Can these puppys be daisy chained to give 36volts or 48????? I will check and report back. |

Re: Battery maintenance
Be VERY careful - you may fry your batteries and chargers and yourself!!
I wouldn't do it. You can charge the batteries in pairs. Just be sure to disconnect the cables between the pairs. |

Re: Battery maintenance
Well it works so it's an option for you 48 volt guys.
I do mine in pairs cause their 6 volt. These puppys only pull 15 watts apiece so I'm not really worried. Kelly has it nailed - Float Chargers. |

Re: Battery maintenance
That depends on the charger. If -ve is connected to neutral or ground, you'll be shorting them..

Re: Battery maintenance
Not necessarily. Depends on the charger and their reference to "ground". Many coil and core transformers can be seriesed, but you will be exceeding their primary/secondary/core ratings. Add solid state controls and you "may" not be OK.
In this case, it sounds like it worked. EDIT: I was answering Nuke's post. |
