ERIC Charger not working
2016 club car precedent. JE serial number. Charger It worked fine. Then it fell off a box like 2 ft to the floor and now none of the lights come on. Checked the power source. Checked the connection to the charger. I’m stressed. It didn’t even fall that hard. Any ideas on what to try before I replace it?

Re: ERIC Charger not working
The only thing you can check on those is that the AC cord is properly connected and that the charger is getting AC power. Try a different AC cord if you have one with a similar end that will plug into the charger.
Otherwise, use it for a boat anchor and buy a Lester Summit II. |

Will any AC cord (that fits) work? Nothing special? I see that Walmart has some universal ones. Would obviously like to try this before I use it as a boat anchor… |

Well - the new power cord didn’t work, or didn’t cause the lights to come on. I do not have a voltage tester to check if it’s getting power. I can’t believe this thing croaked after falling 2 feet. That’s a major bummer. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I am seeing the Lester’s are around $400, the ERICs around $500. Do I have any other options? DPI? Can you explain the differences? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

More robust, better programming, more user adjustability with the Bluetooth app, and comes from one of if not the best companies in charging technology. Also comes with a 4 year warranty, which you will not find on any other charger. That said, it can still be considered a throw-away charger as with every other “smart charger” on the market, because there are no serviceable parts inside. I’m not so sure that if you opened one you could even see anything other than the potting material they use to waterproof the board. The main advantage you would have with a DPI or similar charger is user serviceable parts. You can open it up and replace the relay and control board, and any damaged wiring. The trade-off is that you really can’t change any of the settings, and they are still based on the old relatively inefficient, but generally bullet-proof, transformer technology. Check with ScottyB at Cartsunlimited.net. He has the best prices I know of on the S2, and is a long time site sponsor and supporter of the BGW forums. I believe he still sells DPI chargers as well, so you could ask his opinion of the two as well. |
