Default To bypass OBC or not....

I am at a crossroads of replacing my batteries and would like to keep them in a healthy state for as long as possible. I have read that the OBC on the club car isn’t the most proficient at appropriate charging algorithms. Should I bypass and purchase a smart charger or wait till the OBC dies?

Another alternative, seeing that you are up for the cost of batteries anyway is to think about going Lithium. Put the cost of a set of flooded batteries and a smart charger toward a set of Lithium batteries and a Lithium charger, You'll be much better off in the long run. NoleFan4Ever and others can help you a great deal.

Look at the Lithium sub forum.

No you don't have to have one, but you will get a longer and better performance from your pack with a smart charger. I got 10 years out my last set with an OBC and casual neighborhood usage. I have gone Lithium on that cart now, but my OBC was still good.

As Yawood stated, Lithium is a good alternative.
