You need to check your ERIC charger for the Serial Data port connector on the charger. If you do NOT have the version with the Serial Data Port, you will have to have a separate disconnect on the DC side.
The basic off-board version of the Eric charger can not be programmed to automatically charge when plugged in to AC power. It MUST be disconnected from the battery pack after each charge and during use of the cart. Simply unplugging the AC power and plugging back in will not start a new charge cycle. It has to be disconnected from DC power as well.

The Summit II is programmable for On or off board use, and will start a new charge cycle each time when plugged into AC power.
THat's really good information! I had done research and did not find that. I thought there was a reason the on-board one from Club Car had the LCD display on it. Must have that port as well. I'll look again at mine but i'm pretty sure I don't have the port. Looks like the Lester it is.
