Club Car Golf Cart Chargers
BatteryStuff.com offers a selection of Club Car golf cart chargers by Pro Charging Systems and Japlar Schauer. The Made in the USA Eagle Performance chargers by Pro Charging Systems offer two types of chargers: one that works with the Club Car’s OBC (onboard computer) and another that requires you to bypass the OBC* but offers a much better multi-stage charging profile than the OBC profile. The Japlar Schauer Chargers need you to bypass the OBC* and provide a 3-Stage charging profile that can both charge and maintain the battery pack after charge.
Many Club Car golf carts come with an onboard charge controller/computer that tells the OEM charger how to charge the battery pack. When switching to a charger not meant to charge through the Club Car’s controller, you must bypass the onboard controller to take advantage of the multi-stage charging many of our chargers offer.
*Bypassing the onboard computer is simple and can be accomplished with the supplied jumper wire our Club Car cables come with. All you need to do is connect the jumper wire to the black terminal on the back of the golf cart’s plug receptacle to the last negative on your battery pack, where the ground goes to the motor and controller. This will bypass the onboard controller, thus allowing your new Smart charger to work in all its proper charge stages.
