Who makes Powertron batteries?
I recently purchased six Powertron P2000G 6 V batteries for my 1990 EZ-GO cart. They replaced six 2005 Trojan 105 batteries.
I also purchased a DPI 36C018 automatic battery charger. This charger has a mode selector that allows the charger to perform the correct charge algorithm for the particular battery manufacturer:
Mode 1 US Battery batteries
Mode 2 Trojan batteries
Mode 3 Exide Flooded batteries
Mode 4 Full River / Enersys batteries
The charger is shipped from the factory set in Mode 2.
In reading the Sticky Golf Cart Battery Comparison from 2008, US Battery has what appears to be the same model number (2000) as the Powertron. This leads me to think that perhaps US Battery makes Powertron. If this is the case I need to change my charger to Mode 1.
I called and checked with DPI tech support, but he had never heard of Powertron. He said leave it on Mode 2 and "I should be fine." However, since he doesn't know who makes the batteries, I am hesitant to take his advise without some research.
So, does anyone know if Powertron makes their own batteries? If not, does anyone know who does? Thank You.
