Purchasing a Golf Cart Charger

When it comes to purchasing a golf cart charger, it is easy to be confused by the huge array of options on the market. Thankfully, there is not a whole lot that you need to know about choosing the right one for the job.

Always Look At Your Battery’s Voltage

First and foremost, it is important that you know your battery voltage, when purchasing a golf cart charger. Choosing the wrong one can cause issues. Most carts operate on a 36V or 48V system.  For example, if you have a (6)8V batteries in your cart, then you have a 48V (6x8V=48V) system and will need a charger which offers 48 volts. It really is that simple.

Know Your Golf Cart\’s Plug

Next, you will need to find the plug which is right for your golf cart.   Look closely at the receptacle on your cart, and make sure you pick a charger that matches that plug.   There are only a few common plugs to choose from, so it is not going to be hard.  If you need help, send us a picture of the receptacle on your cart and we will be happy to help.
