Re: Yamaha 48v charger
I checked voltage at the cart receptacle and it's at 48.7v. The batteries yes, are old. If I can get 6-10 runs up my long and steep driveway, I'm doing pretty good. They will get replaced in time. I have a friend who is an auto electrician who's working on battery technology so, I'm gonna hold out on his inventions. But **** is he hard to get ahold of to check stuff like this out.
This cart is in need of some love. I threw her together about 7 years ago so I would have something to help me around the property. Plowman's 13.5hp motor and controller upgrade, Jakes long travel, Line X with color coat on entire body, Suite seats......It just needs to be finished. 4 link rear. Upgrade electrical for various things. Replace seats again. I apologize for the haste. My new wife uses the cart a lot to do various chores around the house like, amazon shipments, mail runs, you know, important shat! So to keep her up and running is of utmost importance. So again, my apologies for striking a gift horse. SO....I"ll put the charger apart as we do have field mice here in sunny San Diego. So who knows. But would it be safe to say that, if I don't have an obvious chewed wire, that there may have been some cheap microswitch that finally gave up the ghost and is causing me to purchase a new charger? If so, what's a robust charger to buy? AMAZON has tons of crap. This current charger has been great. 120v, 10 amps. Near dead, it takes about 8-10 hours to charge. No big deal. Put it on the charger first thing on a Sunday morning and it kicks off before San Diego Gas and Extortion has their retarded rate hikes by 4pm. |

Re: Yamaha 48v charger
Sadly if the timer board (with all the LEDs) has failed, the part is no longer obtainable. That's been the death knell for many a MAC charger more recently. They used to carry replacements in Nivel/Red Hawk but as of 2020 no longer available.
If you're handy with wiring, you can bypass the timer and put a mechanical 12-hour timer in its place and cut in an ammeter to take the place of the LEDs with a hole saw. It's one way to keep an otherwise decent, simple repairable charger design around. Trust me you don't want anything to do with so-called 'smart' chargers. You just take the two wires that go to the relay on that board and put them on the proper terminals of the mechanical timer and it works like a '60s Lester and will likely outlive you. |

Re: Yamaha 48v charger
Well, picked up a new charger and, I'm back in business. Didn't get a single reply for suggestions or choices. Went with a Summit 2 and it seems to do the trick just fine.

Perhaps not just that but could also be the way you structure your posts/responses. You tend to burry the information/questions you are looking to get answered with rambling sentences. |

I also offered you my take on what you can do to help get more answers to your questions moving forward. It is evident that you felt my opinion on the issues with the thread were incorrect and thats ok if you feel that way. See you next time you come back to the well for knowledge on a issue you can not solve on your own. |
