MODZ Max48 15 AMP Club Car Battery Charger for 48 Volt Golf Carts

I recently purchased an older (1996) Club Car DS. The owner I bought it from warned me to monitor when charging with the original charger and once my voltage meter read 50 volts to disconnect as it was fully charged. I didn't want to have to worry about unplugging the cart at night so I ordered this charger. I was nervous when I saw the voltage readings up near 56 volts so I literally sat I'm my shop until it finally turned green indicating full charge. The batteries make a little sizzle noise (which is normal) and to my surprise, the cart runs fantastic. I now think the previous owner never charged the batteries to their full potential. After a lot of internet searching, I was put at ease and now understand better how golf carts actually operate in a state of over charge. Do not hesitate to purchase this charger, it is light and compact and safely charges batteries to their optimal charge. Let this charger do its job!

I have bypassed my OBC, as this is the second time that it has failed, cost to replace without labor is $ 200.00. I have had my charger for just 3 days, it does charge and shut off after a full charge, so far, I am very happy with it. The challenge will be in the cold winter months when the cart sits idle, will it keep the batteries charged just like my old charge when the OBC was still working?Updated 11.16.19, winter has arrived in the north, the unit still is working perfect. On good days without much snow, can still play golf, no loss of power. Very good product, light weight and so easy to use. If you are looking at either replacing your OBC or using this charger to bypass it, then this is the correct unit to purchase for a Club Car. Keep in mind that my Trojan batteries are 10 years old and this charger does not overcharge.Updated 01.26.20, first time I have checked on my cart in 2 months, cart took right off, no loss of power, drove part of the course, had to avoid snowbanks. Unit has done a great job in keeping my batteries charged. Much better option than to put money into a OBC.

I received this over the weekend and it has worked great. I honestly believe it is charging my golf cart must better than the original Club Car charger and here is why: 1) If I plugged in my old charger, it would charge up to full capacity, but then drain down about 1.1 amp hours per hour due to stereo, battery gauge, and other 12v accessories plugged in. My old charger would never re-charge or trickle charge unless I unplugged it and plugged it back in again. 2) This charger is more light weight, plugged right in and charged up to 100% within a few hours 3) As my battery discharges due to the battery gauge, stereo memory, etc., this charger will keep it at 100% charged or kick back on and charge again. I am testing it for a few days without driving the cart to ensure that it stays at 100% and keeps trickle charging when it goes down below 100%. So far, so good. I will update if I find out any differences in my testing. Also, I have six 8V batteries on my cart. I know this comes up in a lot of the reviews, but I did not need to make any modifications to the OBC.

Good and reliable product.

The charger that I had previously ordered ran for 3 days and never charged the cart enough. This one was on for less than 4 hours and charged it completely. Love it.

Maintains a trickle charge after main charge to keep batteries fully charged. Very good quality!

Going on my third one now. I bought one 3 months ago. Worked great. Then the light indicator stopped working and it stopped charging but the fan still comes on. When I first got it, the positive terminal was loose so I opened it up and put some epoxy because the plastic tabs that hold it in place were broke. Because I did that, it voided the warranty. I called golf cart king and they offered for me to send it to them for inspection and possible replacement on my dollar. While boxing it up I remembered that opened the plug and put epoxy so it was no longer under warranty. So then I figured I would try on more time since no other chargers on amazon had any better reviews. I get the new charger, doesn't even work out of the box. Red and green light flash indicating no power and the fan doesn't come on. They offered for me to send this one back for replacement. Not happy at all. I will try the new one, if it works and then fails later, I will be contacting the company and raising hell. These chargers are not tested and as far as I know have no quality inspection. Buyer beware.Update- finally made contact with the company. I sent a message through amazon asking when they would be sending a replacement after it had been 5 business days since i sent the old one back and had not heard anything. They never responded to the message, but i contacted them directly over the phone. They said they just got it and it would be several days before they could test it to determine what was wrong with it to send me a replacement. Why would it take several days to plug it in and see it does not work? So i have been several weeks, waiting for the replacement for the original that quit working, then sending this one back because it didnt work out of the box and then have to wait almost another week for them to check and then about another week to recieve a replacemnt. I have already been 3 weeks without a charger and unable to use my cart at the point of sending it back. I had to request a refund and now i will go with a different charger. This has been the worse experience with a company and their product i have had so far. Congratulations to those who havent had any issues with theirs, but for me, the first charger quit after 3 months(i lost the money for that one cause i had to repair it right out of the box and voided the warranty, dumb move on my part, but i didnt have time replace it), the replacemtent didnt work out of the box and they are taking thier sweet time(almost 2 weeks) to send a replacement for that one.FYI, because the orginal was not able to be sent back and i lost my money anyway, i opened it up to see if i could repair it(i have experince and training in repairing electronics)and there is a silicone coating poured into it covering 99 percent of everything inside. So the circuit board and everything inside is unrepairable. So when they say they have to inspect it to see if it can be repaired, what are they checking? You cannot see any connections, cannot ohm test anything or see burned circuits or anything. The only thing you can inspect inside is one conection, that is not coated, and thats the signal wire. So im not sure why they dont just send a reacement instead of making the customer wait for several weeks for a replacement that involves time to send it back, wait for them to test it and another week or so to recieve th replacement.
