Things To Know Before Buying A New Golf Cart Battery Charger

We obtain call and messages regularly from possible customers would like to know what is the most effective golf cart battery charger as well as just how can they determine which one will work in their golf cart. So Pete asked me to create this brief yet informative guide and also why I have actually entitled it-- Things To Know Prior To Buying A New Golf Cart Battery Charger.

Essentially the key functions of a golf cart charger are they need to re-charge the batteries in your golf cart. So in order to be able to plug in a charger to do so it will need to be of the same operating voltage and also the connector style must coincide. Relying on what brand name of golf cart you possess will figure out the style port you will certainly require.

As an example-- An Ezgo Golf Cart makes use of either a Crowsfoot port on its older 36 volt carts, or the D36(TxT Style) connector which is rectangular formed on the end, rounded on one brief side with 2 pins inside 2 square holes. More recent 48v Ezgo carts use the triangular shaped 3 pin RXV adapter. Yamaha golf carts use either a two pin Nabson style port which looks kinda like a toy set of binoculars, the Newer Design Yamaha carts have a 3 pin connector with individuals can say it resembles a triangular shape, or 3 leaf clover due to the fact that the edges are developed by a distance.

After that we involve the all as well as ever prominent Club Car. Club Car Golf Carts older than 2000 can be 36v or 48v systems and also will have either a crowsfoot port or a rounded three pin adapter. All club cars more recent than 2000 typically have the round one. Though two various types of chargers make use of the round 3 pin port. You will require to determine the year as well as design of your club car golf cart. You can check out the vin # on the cart. Typically discovered above the pedal assembly below the dashboard on a white sticker label with an upc code or on the traveler side flooring article encountering the chauffeur's seat. The initial 5 or 6 letter/numbers will certainly determine the year. Example A9905 = a 1999 Club Car DS manufactured in the fifth week of manufacturing that year. Club Car golf carts more recent than 1995 have what is called an OBC "Onboard Computer System" as well as if this is still functional in your golf carts charging circuit you will need one design battery charger that uses the three pin connector and if you club car is older than 1995 or if somebody bypassed the OBC you will need a different one. If you ever before need some technological direction to identify the correct charger for your application you can give Pete's team a jingle at 772-247-GOLF as well as they will be more than pleased to aid guide you in the right direction in buying the correct charger.

How to Find the Right Keyless Entry Key Fob and Batteries For Your Car Truck or SUV

If you have been driving around town or searching online trying to find the correct replacement keyless entry key fob or batteries for your vehicle this article may be of some help. Pete is a car guy and knows all things cars. The first thing he will always tell you is stay away from the dealership parts counter unless you absolutely have to because the part you need is only available there. Otherwise you will usually pay 100 to 300% more for the part or item in question. How do you think they can afford that big beautiful showroom and great commercial location.

Whatever the issue is with your car, truck or SUV key fob Pete can help you solve it.

If it was lost, stolen, or fell overboard you will need to know the Year, Make and Model of your car, truck or SUV to determine the correct replacement. Once you have that information you can go to Pete’s Keyless Entry Key Fob Remotes for Cars Trucks and Suvs category and look for the one you will need.

Now if you haven’t lost the key fob remote and it just is not working correctly or at all. First open it up and see what size Key Fob Batteries are in it. Pete recommends first trying to replace the batteries for only a few dollars vs buying a new remote right away for alot more money. Worst case scenario you will now have an extra set of new key fob batteries for your new remote. Being they are all lithium type batteries they have a 10 year shelf life so no worries of them going bad until you get around to using them.

Best case scenario it was the key fob batteries that where bad or dead and now you are up and running again for just a few bucks. It pays to do a little research and learn about something vs just throwing money at a problem.

There are a few ways to determine the year, make and model of your vehicle.

Write down or take a picture of your cars vin number (VIN = Vehicle Identification Number) – Then you can go to a very well known car insurance website like Hagerty.com to stick your vin number into the vehicle search database to get the specifics of your car, truck or SUV.

You can look inside the drivers side door jamb and it should have a little sticker there with vehicle specifics… ( The older the car the less likely it is still there – or if the vehicle had a re-paint)

Look in the glove box or where ever you would keep the vehicles insurance and registration papers. Almost 100% of the time you can pull the correct vehicle information off either papers.

Now with that information you will be able to narrow down your search tremendously. Now you can checkout all the different Keyless Entry Remotes available for your vehicle make and based on the model and options of your vehicle you will be able to compare product pictures to find the correct one.

Finally you found what you needed… and for far less than what you where quoted at the dealership I will be willing to bet. Once you receive the Key Fob Remote you will need to put the new batteries in it. Some companies offer the remote with new batteries others do not. Pete always throws in a new set of Energizer key Fob Batteries with every remote.

Anyhow, you will need to contact the dealer of your vehicle make for instructions of how to re-program the car to use the new remote. Usually a good lock smith also knows the procedure. Which will vary from car to car and manufacturer.

Hopefully this was helpful for you to diagnose your keyless entry keyfob remote or determine the right replacement battery or the right replacement remote.

How to Set the Charge Mode for your New Accusense DPI Golf Cart Battery Charger

We get quite a few calls about the new DPI (Diversified Power International) golf cart battery charger and the mode select settings. Here is a quick look chart to double check your golf cart charger is running the correct MODE for your batteries.

This Mode select feature allows for fine tuning charger with a specific charge algorithm for the battery or chemistry of batteries in your application.

So I decided to put together a short How to article about setting the charge mode for your new DPI Gen IV Accusense Golf Cart Battery Charger (see DPI Gen IV here).

The Basics:

The charger is factory preset to charge in MODE-1 which will cover all (Lead Acid or Flooded) golf cart battery applications.

This is a auto sense – with a range of approx 200-255Ah with is a little hot for a cheap 8 volt golf cart battery from like Sams, Wal Mart and most parts stores… ( Usually they are a black or grey box with the company sticker on it – which equates to usually being manufactured in Mexico or Korea – hence other alloy inside battery besides lead because they use reclaimed lead and is not nearly as pure as something found in a quality battery still made in the US and why you get what you pay for when it comes to batteries.

Batteries are the heart of your golf carts system so spend a little more and you will be glad you did.

Cycle life and performance will become apparent over time when using a half rate “cheaper battery”) But a quality battery like Trojan Golf Cart Batteries or US Batteries they like to be charged hotter than most.

Just the chemistry itself and the internal characteristics of these quality batteries like to be energized to the point of bubbling or boiling. Especially when batteries are new – the lead is not 100% cured and usually requires 15-25 charge cycles to completely cure the lead. In this phase of a batteries life it is paramount to energize the cells effectively for 100% performance and longevity.)
