36v charger

[willy_b]

I need to replace my charger (36v EZGO) and i was looking at some i found on amazon. Basically a 36v 18a on board charger and i was wondering if anyone has bought one... hows it working?
thanks in advance

Woofta $300 for a aftermarket non-lithium charger. Is the onboard something you are desiring to have?

I can't answer your question directly but I have a 48v Club Car on which I suspect the OBC has crapped out. I can't confirm until this weekend, though. If my OBC is bad, I will be buying the FORM rather than replacing the silly OBC.

Another person in my camp has a 48v FORM and he's been using it a couple of years with no problem. He called their customer service to inquire about settings for different battery brands and a US-based agent answered the phone and connected him to a knowledgeable US-based tech without waiting.

Of note for the Club Car guys, that charger will work either with a functional OBC or with a bypassed one.

I spent the extra for this exact one. Put it on my ‘83 EZGO Marathon trash hauler at the campground. When I leave at the end of the weekend I can plug it in and forget about it like Ron Popeil. [emoji1]

I like that it’s onboard and I don’t have to lug the huge/heavy old charger around. It charges then floats the charge and then turns off after a set period.
