You may never need to plug the charger in again.

It really helps if you only drive down hills and never have to go up!

With these Eco battery kits, can you just plug the charger in and let it charge over night?

It will shut off by itself when it hits 57 volts. I have my charger plugged into a wall outlet timer, although not necessary. I set this at 2 to 5 hours just to remove input power from the charger overnight.

I like that the charger is built with mounting holes. I just installed a Dakota and their fast charger is nice but has nothing that will allow me to easily mount it under the seat.

Nice install.

Correct. The charger and/or battery will shut charging off when complete. If you are using your cart frequently (once every 7-10 days), there is nothing wrong with leaving it plugged in when not in use.

If you are going to let it sit for extended periods, it is recommended to fully charge, remove the charger, and turn off our Gen 2 batteries that have the power button. If you have a Gen 1 battery and let it sit for extended periods, we suggest charging it, removing the charger and at minimum, turning the run/tow switch to tow.

We make an attempt to simplify installs and leave your cart as factory appearing as possible. Including cart specific battery mounts and charging ports are a big part of our effort to make our kits just that much better.

Dallas - just finished my install (48v 105Ah V2 with power button) and it was glorious and easy - love how it used my existing hold-down hook (CC precedent). My only issue is, there's no manual or instructions for the new style "CAN" digital gauge it came with - anything on that? It seems simple but is there anything to adjust? Anything for dummies to understand?

@jws2010CC - can you post a pic of your digital gauge mount? I have the new version and it's so much thicker than I'm concerned about making it fit. Also you mentioned eagerly awaiting an "application" - what is this? Is there a phone app coming out or something? Please educate me!

[jws2010CC]

Hey @edtext. Of course! I used a 2 1/8” hole saw and drilled from the back side of the cover. Marking and then using a dremel would work well too.

About the app... EcoBattery is developing an android and iOS app that will give us more information and options for our batteries in the near future. Some battery companies may already have an app for their bms. Eco has and is proving to do well with their R&D, so I’m not worried about waiting on it. It will happen soon, but it will probably have to go through an Android/Apple review before being available in those app stores.IMG_4341.jpg

There actually aren't any necessary adjustments on the Gen 2 gauge. It accurately shows voltage, amps (in and out) and state of charge. Unlike the Gen 1, the Gen 2 doesn't require periodic calibration.
