Using Lead Acid Charger on your Golf Cart Lithium Battery?
Using your old lead-acid or AGM golf cart battery charger on your new lithium battery is a big no-go! The first problem with lead-acid chargers is their charging curve that does not allow for constant current, – constant voltage charging which is a requirement for lithium batteries to perform balancing well when they are close to fully charged.
Using the correct 36V Golf Cart Charger for your 36V lithium battery and the correct 48V Golf Cart Charger for your 48V lithium battery adds an additional layer of safety which the lead-acid chargers do not as they tend to push the batteries into protection status.
Can you leave your Golf Cart Battery Charger Plugged in?
Charging your Golf Cart Battery over night is very common for many users. You typically arrive home, plug in your cart and leave it until you need it again the next morning. Leaving your lithium battery charger plugged in does not damage the battery. It is however recommended that if you were to store your cart for a month or more to not have your charger plugged in.
In general it is better practice to plug out your charger after the battery has been fully charged. If you are storing your golf cart for long periods at a time, it is best to do so with the battery SOC (state of charge) at about 50 to 60%. Doing so prolongs your battery’s expected life.
Original Golf Cart Charge Plug or Modified?
We only recommend using your cart’s female receptacle charge plug as is and not modifying it! We fit the correct charge plug on your lithium battery charger when you send us an image of your current plug.
Important Note: You simply connect both your negative and positive cables from your existing female receptacle charge plug directly to the battery terminals with a 30A fuse on the positive wire. (The wires may not first go though a disconnect, they must go directly to the battery).
Please make sure the polarity of both your male charge plug and your female receptacle is correct before plugging in your charger. Failing to do so will permanently damage your charger.
