Who \’s Who in Chargers

There are numerous brands of golf cart battery chargers currently on the market and obviously some are better than others. In Pete\’s opinion, Lester Electrical is at the top of the list. They have been making battery chargers for decades and are considered by this writer as the best.

Other notable brands include Accusense, DPI, Delta Q, Dual Pro, Eagle, Schauer, Schumacher, ThunderBull, and Quick Charge. All have enough amperage output at the designated operating voltage to perform as expected. Plan to spend $300-$600 dollars for a good quality charger; chargers under $200 will most likely need replacement in a few months.

Typically shoppers should seek at least 10 amps output and the required operating voltage of the golf cart\’s battery bank. Usually 13-15 amps is the sweet spot for DC output from a good charger being used for a residential application. The manufacturers do try to keep the amperage output down under 15 as most residential breakers in the home are 15 amp. Delta Q, DPI, and Lester Electrical all make larger more powerful chargers for faster charging should higher AC voltage inputs be desired.
